I try to only weight myself once a week... I swear my weight goes up and down depending on the weather... i get myself in a rut if i do it everyday..

Once a week, first thing Monday morning. And if I forget, I wait until the following Monday morning. I've been a slave to the scale in the past, letting the number it shows dictate whether I was happy or sad, and the hell with that. :cursing: Once a week is plenty for me.

My surgery day was a Tuesday, so I weigh myself on Tuesdays. Tomorrow is a big weigh in for me, as tomorrow is one month since I was banded. At the three week mark I had lost 28 pounds so we'll see what a month brings.

I weigh myself every morning before I get in the shower because it helps to keep me on track for the day. If I think that I haven't lost anything for a while or that I'm off track, it helps to keep me on. If I have lost anything, it's a great motivator to stay on track.

I even have a scale at work but that one measures body fat, etc. So, sometimes in the afternoon I'll hop on it, too. I know - I'm bad. A total scale freak.

I just want to see ONE-DERLAND so bad one of these days. I just know it will happen. It has to, right? :thumbup:

I also weigh myself everyday - right after my shower. I know I shouldn't.

Okay, even though my ticker thing says my starting weigh was 140 kilos; I guessed that and I put down 5 kilos lost on my ticky thingy as a guess as well.

I asked the dr not to tell me what I weighed when I first met him; then I did the same at the hospital.

Tomorrow I go in for my two week post op meeting and am in two minds as to whether I want to find out how much I've lost since starting Optifast (26th August) to now two weeks post op.

If I haven't lost that much I may just fall apart...so maybe it's better to not know for now.

      I changed my profile image to a molecule of protein. Why? Because I am certain that it saved my life.

      Two years out. Lost 120 , regained 5 lbs. Recently has a bout of Norovirus, lost 7 pounds in two days. Now my stomach feels like it did right after my surgery. Sore, sensitive to even water.  Anyone out there have a similar experience?

      April Surgery
      Am I the only struggling to get weight down. I started with weight of 297 and now im 280 but seem to not lose more weight. My nutrtionist told me not to worry about the pounds because I might still be losing inches. However, I do not really see much of a difference is this happen to any of you, if so any tips?
      Thanks

      Well recovering from gallbladder removal was a lot like recovering from the modified duodenal switch surgery, twice in 4 months yay 🥳😭. I'm having to battle cravings for everything i shouldn't have, on top of trying to figure out what happens after i eat something. Sigh, let me fast forward a couple of months when everyday isn't a constant battle and i can function like a normal person again! 😞
