so.... i'm four days out (banded on march 12) and the last time i weighed was on march 8 or 4 days BEFORE my surgery. we recently moved and the scale was lost in the move. my husband says he knows where it is but usually that means it's really lost. lol so i haven't bought another one yet and am not sure if i want to. i kinda like the idea of not focusing on what the scale says but rather on how i feel and how my clothes fit. i'm going to be weighed by my doc's office at my post op visit on march 24 (7 days from now). i have no clue how much i weigh right now or if i've lost anything since surgery. while i do wanna know if i'm losing i also don't really wanna get focused on a number. is anyone else not weighing except at the doctor? what are ya'll's thoughts on this?:scared2:

I weigh myself once a week. I'ts tempting some mornings but I have found I like the surprise each week. I would go crazy with flucuations if I weighed myself every day. However once I loose all my weight (42 pounds to get to goal) I plan on weighing myself everyday. If I see more then a 2-3 pound gain I know I need to reverse gears. Maybe go on liquids for 2-3 days.

Howdy! I only get weighed when I go for a fill or some other dr appt. I have been measuring my progress by how my clothes fit me and/or how my rings fit me. I do not have a working scale in the house b/c I know I would determine what kind of day I am going to have by the number on the scale. I know that I also have a tendency to think..."Hey! I've lost ___lbs so it will be ok for me to eat that hot fudge sundae that has been taunting me unmercifully!"

since i bought my scale, i've been weighing myself everyday looking for lower numbers. it's like some said... like an obsession of sorts. i wanna see a lower number every morning and sometimes i do and it's great. sometimes i don't and it's a little disappointing but i try not to let it get me down. what i need to do is stop weighing and start exercising. i'm being a little slow about starting on that. i need to get moving!!!!!

yea im a scale nut i weight everyday lol and i always see the number change.. but i only log it once a week.. my doc said its good to weigh once a week to keep urself on track and monitor urself
