I was banded on 12-29 & was losing around a lb a day, then .3, ,3,.0,.6 & today a gain of 1.4lbs! It sets my mood too much that early in the morning. Going to try a couple of times a week instead of the daily check. No change in eating, & added 1/2 hr walking my dogs to boot!

Everyday. I can handle the little ups and downs, but I do get frustrated sometimes too. I tried to do once a week, but if I wake up "feeling heavy", I want to know. Although, I can pretty much tell by my eating whether it's just a bloated feeling or if I have indeed put on a lb or two.

My dr said once a week is enough....BUT I weigh myself every morning and every night. I don't know why I feel the need to do it, i think I am so paranoid that I will gain that if I know I can nip it in the butt right away.

...funny how things change, prior to my band I refused to get on a scale... i lived in denial, now i am the complete opposite

I weigh everyday. I'm the type that if I don't, I will constantly be thinking that I am gaining tons of weight. I also do this in the morning after my shower and naked.

I use to weigh myself every day...became obsessed with it. When I asked my doctor why my weight fluctuates so bad, he told me that I needed to pick ONE day a week to weigh myself at the same time. So now I weigh myself on Saturday morning when I wake up. At first I had my husband hide my scale so I was not tempted to weigh every morning. I made a chart with all the Saturday dates through the end of the year so I can track my progress. Good Luck to you!

I love that idea. I had him hide credit card when I ebay'd too much, LOL. So why not the scale. I too weight myself every day and get frustrated if it's up a day or two. I am absolutely going home from work and asking him to hide the scale from me, he'll do it! Fixes that problem. Thanks!

Tabby.

I weigh myself once a day first thing in the morning but only record my weight once a week. I like to do it daily as if the scale has gone up a 1lb i work harder that day to get rid of it, i know sometimes if u gain it can be distressing but i am over that now and accept the odd lb either way with no emotional pressure :)

I weigh myself every morning. I have been in a rut for the last month with very little weight loss. My clothes feel so much better though so I think it is a win. I used to feel that I had no control of my weight and now with weighing myself I feel I have a sense of control. I dont get too frustrated if my weight is up but I reflect on the day before. Did I eat too much? Did I drink enough Water? Did I move my butt? Usually the answer is the reason for a weight gain. I resolve to do better and move on.

This is a good question. I personally don't have a scale at home. I think If I did I would be weighing myself everyday or more than once a day. I know I would be a compulsive weigher. So..I usually weigh myself at my mom's house or at work. Last week I made a trip to my mom's just so I could weigh myself. I felt like I had gained like 20 pounds. It was just my "vistor" making me feel bloated.bored.gif I am really wanting to get a scale for home but, I feel like it might be a bad idea. I know I would get discouraged. So...I guess mom will be happy I am coming over to visit more often. laugh.png

      Losing my hair in clumps and still dealing with "stomach" issues from gallbladder removal surgery. On the positive side I'm doing better about meeting protein and water goals and taking my vitamins, so yay? 🤷‍♀️

      I've hit a stall 9 months out. I'm not worried, though. My fitness levels continue to improve and I have nearly accomplished my pre-surgery goal of learning to scuba dive! One dive left to complete to get my PADI card 🐠
      I was able to go for a 10K/6mile hike in the mountains two days ago just for the fun of it. In the before days, I might have attempted this, but it would have taken me 7 or 8 hours to complete and I would have been exhausted and in pain for the next two days. Taking my time with breaks for snacks and water, I was finished with my wee jaunt in only 4 hours 😎 and really got to enjoy photographing some insects, fungi, and turtles.

      I have no clue where to upload this, so I'll put it here. This is pre-op vs the morning of my 6 month appointment! In office I weight 232, that's 88 lbs down since my highest weight, 75 lbs since my surgery weight! I can't believe this jacket fit... I am smaller now than the last time I was this size which the surgeon found really amusing. He's happy with where I am in my weight loss and estimates I'll be around 200 lbs by my 1 year anniversary! My lowest weight as an adult is 195, so that's pretty damn exciting to think I'll be near that at a year. Everything from there will be unknown territory!!
