I think it would make me sad if I see I gain a pound that's why I don't go on the scale daily.

I go on the scale daily as well but, I know there will be fluctuations. The only time I get upset is if it keeps going up and not coming back down. That hasn't happened with this surgery, if it went up a pound or two it was usually off within the next few days. I also remind myself that fluctuations in levels of hydration will make the scale move as well.

I learned early not to weigh every day. I get on the scale once a week and that is great for my mentality. Keeps me on track thru the week so I'm not disappointed when it's my day to weigh.

I admit to being a daily visitor to the scale. I find that I need that day-to-day feedback to ensure I stay on track. If I see it go up a touch, I am extra good the next day to ensure it comes back off very quickly. Just me, I suppose.

I'm like MsCook above, I am a dialy scale person too, I like to catch it early if I can for the same reasons above. Plus when I see a drop it gives me even more incentive to go that extra mile while working out :) I'm a daily weigher and dam proud of it - LOL :)

I so totally do this. I also weigh daily, which was a bad thing until I learned to accept flucuations were part of the process as were stalls. Neither bother me in general except when I get close to a goal, like being below 200 (almost there now) and my evil body just to spite me puts me into a stall or that gain and lose bouncing game. I get annoyed but it does not get me down, now I just joke about it and know that eventually the weight will come off and I just up my game. Without the daily weigh-ins I think I would go into shock LOL....Honestly since I am on the losing track way more often then the gaining track right now I find weighing daily is very helpful and keeps me motivated (even on the days I lose since it just makes me work harder). I am guessing soon there will be a time when the weight loss really slows down less then that average 3 pound a week weight loss I am currently experiencing and then I might join the once a week weigh-in club!

Have you been watching me? Lol, there's a spot in my kitchen that will reflect 25 lbs lower than I really am, talk about a let down.

      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? 🤷‍♀️
