Jennifer, I got your email and have tried to join. Got a message that said that the content is unavailable? BTW, I am not very skilled at FB. I signed up for it for the sole purpose of connecting with others for WLS support.

I am so happy for all of you! I can't wait to start my journey....hopefully this year.

Every day for me. Right now while I'm trying different foods post op it helps me know that if the scale went up 2 lbs I probably shouldn't eat that food I tried yesterday. Plus I'm trying to find the right calorie range that will keep me losing but not be too low.

I don’t get on the scale much when things are going well – when I know I’m maintaining my weight, I’m working out, my clothes fit, and I’m eating well. When things aren’t going as well, and I can tell the pounds are creeping back on, I’ll get more serious and weigh in every few days to hold myself more accountable.
I think the most common advice is to have an “official” weigh-in day once a week. You can weigh yourself on the days in between the weigh-in day, but only if you don’t take these measurements too seriously.
As to whether weighing yourself every day is bad or good: it’s only bad if you let it be bad. There’s no question that some days (and maybe multiple days in a row) the scale will not go down, and it may go up. If you let that get you down, then you’re setting yourself up for being discouraged and maybe for giving up on your hard efforts.
But you can let weighing yourself every day be a good thing if you use it for information about your body, like how it reacts after a high salt day. I have a friend who weighs herself more than once a day because she likes to know what her body is doing. For example, she’ll weigh herself before and after working out so she knows how much she sweated so she can be sure to replace the lost liquids by drinking enough fluids.

I am tentative for October!

I have a tentative month of Oct :-)

My advice is learn as much as you can, ask lots of questions, and be open to using every resource available to you,
Take lots of notes. My program gave me a binder to keep all the program materials in. It became my bible.
This is quite a life changing adventure.

I am so happy for all of you! I can't wait to start my journey....hopefully this year.
