Once you have done your surgery, is someone tracking your weight with you or are you completely doing it at home on your own? How often do you weigh if you are tracking it at home?

Tracking varies by individual and there post-surgical care. I keep track of my weight at home & check in with my PCP for labs & get weighed then. I also update my on-line records with my surgeon since he is in Vegas and I am in Washington.

How often you weigh is definitely a matter of personal choice. I weigh daily and track my ebbs and flows. It helps to have a record to look back on for cycles, etc. Others cannot handle the stalls or small spikes and choose to either weight weekly or monthly. You will have to decide what works for you.

Best of luck!

I was in and out of my surgeon's office a LOT during the first 3 months post-op, but I still weighed every single day, and sometimes multiple times a day. It's what worked for me, and my mindset. It kept me motivated, it kept me happy, and while others have a love/hate relationship with their scale, I love/loved mine. My scale at home weighed me the exact same as my surgeon's scale. It's just a cheap $20.00 scale from WalMart, nothing fancy, nothing spectacular, just a digital scale.

I currently weigh once or twice a week. I can tell when I'm retaining water, or have put on a couple of pounds, and yes it happens to me too even in maintenance, I can gain 2-4lbs in one week, part of it's water weight, other part of it is me eating junk food, and my cycle affects my weight loss tremendously. My jeans get a bit snug around the belly, and I can tell when I've gained a pound or 3. I don't let the scale worry me too much these days because I know I can go all protein for 2-3 days and drop major pounds. It's just how my body works now.

Just do what works best for you emotionally and mentally.

my Dr weighs me everytime I come in and I see him at one week one month then every three months. But I go by the eight I have at home since it is at the same time every time and I can be in my b-day suit no cloths adding extra weight. I weigh every day just because I find it interesting the corilation to what I did/ ate the day before to the amount lost or gained, but I only track on Wednesdays. But some people just cant handle the every day weigh in it drives them crazy. for me not knowing would drive me crazy.

My surgeon has followed me closely so far, so I weigh in there at my appts. I also weigh at home once a week. I prefer to stay off of the scale for the most part. Helps me not obsess!

I weigh at home every day. I have to, it's how I keep it real.
