Weekly is fine. You can weigh daily if you want to drive yourself crazy though.

I gained about 140lbs behind the wheel. And since may 23rd I've lost 85 of that.

I weigh weekly, some people weigh monthly, others only weigh when they go to the Dr. checkups. Just don't weigh yourself daily... you will drive yourself crazy. I also don't weigh on the week during my cycle, because I always stall that week and don't want to get depressed.

I weigh myself at docs appts only because I tend to get obsessive about the number. It ruins my whole mood if the number goes up and I dont feel like being on that roller coaster again.

I guess I'm the oddball in the group. I weigh daily. Right when I first get up, with my scale in the same location. When losing or tracking, I only record my weight on Friday. Weighing every day, I don't worry about a couple pounds variance. I have a set bounce zone of 5 lbs. either way. When I get close to the top of the bounce, I cut back on Snacks and sugary drinks. So far, it's working for me.

Haha! I am 3 weeks out and was already obsessed with weighing myself. So I took the battery out of the scale and threw it away. I stop at my dad's house every Saturday for coffee and some chat so I will weigh myself there.

      Question for anyone, how did you get your mind right before surgery? Like as far as eating better foods and just doing better in general? I'm having a really hard time with this. Any help is appreciated 🙏❤️

      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.
      Just for fun last week, I ran two 5Ks in two days, something I would have never done in the past! Next goal is a 10K before the end of this month.

      Hi everyone, I wrote back in May about having no strength. I still get totally exhausted just walking from room to room, it’s so bad I’m using a walker with wheels of all things. I had the gastric sleeve Jan. 24th. I’m doing exactly what the programs says, except protein shakes. I have different meats and protein bars daily, including vitamins daily. I do drink my fluids as well.  I go in for IV hydration 4 days a week and feel ok just til evening.  So far as of Jan 1st I’ve dropped 76 lbs. I just want to enjoy the weight lose. Any suggestions or has anyone else gone thru this??  Doctor says just increase calorie intake, still the same.

      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? 🤷‍♀️
