Do u ever get frustrated weighing every day if the scale doesn't show a weight loss?? That's my biggest worry, I don't want to set myself up for a guilt trip if I'm not losing everyday..

My surgeon recommends weighing daily. The rationale is that it "keeps you honest" and able to adjust caloric intake and/or exercise in a more timely fashion before a little gain becomes a big gain :-)

I continue to weigh at least once a day. I just got back from vacation and was looking for scales while I was there...I would have taken mine if it wasnt glass...lol but thankfully no wt gain!!!!

I started out weighing once a day. Then I would stand on it twice and sometimes three times a day. So, I went to the opposite extreme and weighed only at my dr's office once a month. Both were making me crazy.

I've finally found a balance that works for me. I do it on Wednesday evenings at the gym - always on the same scale and try to pay less attention to the actual number than the direction I'm going because I know it won't weigh the same as my dr's scale.< /p>

Girls I need to flow with as much positive information as possiable. I weigh every two wks at home followed by monthly with my Dr. I will not be bothered with the flucuations of my weight on a daily basis

I weigh every morning. I do wii fit and it weighs you every time. So every morning for me. I like even if I have not lost because it motivates me to see a loss the next day.

I try to weigh myself daily. I think it's the only way to keep you honest. If you see the number creeping up you can quickly adjust your diet/exercise. If you wait to long to weigh it can be discouraging if it jumps to high and to me this causes failure, but that's just my opinion.

I weight daily, after I get up and use the bathroom. I find weighing at the same time is more accurate.

I weigh at least twice a day. Usually before I go to sleep and when I wake up.

I weigh myself every morning before I've had anything to eat or drink.

      Day 1 of pre-op liquid diet (3 weeks) and I'm having a hard time already. I feel hungry and just want to eat. I got the protein and supplements recommend by my program and having a hard time getting 1 down. My doctor / nutritionist has me on the following:
      1 protein shake (bariatric advantage chocolate) with 8 oz of fat free milk 1 snack = 1 unjury protein shake (root beer) 1 protein shake (bariatric advantage orange cream) 1 snack = 1 unjury protein bar 1 protein shake (bariatric advantace orange cream or chocolate) 1 snack = 1 unjury protein soup (chicken) 3 servings of sugar free jello and popsicles throughout the day. 64 oz of water (I have flavor packets). Hot tea and coffee with splenda has been approved as well. Does anyone recommend anything for the next 3 weeks?

        All I can tell you is that for me, it got easier after the first week. The hunger pains got less intense and I kind of got used to it and gave up torturing myself by thinking about food. But if you can, get anything tempting out of the house and avoid being around people who are eating. I sent my kids to my parents' house for two weeks so I wouldn't have to prepare meals I couldn't eat. After surgery, the hunger was totally gone.

      I have my final approval from my insurance, only thing holding up things is one last x-ray needed, which I have scheduled for the fourth of next month, which is my birthday.
