Weighing In....How Ofter is Too Often?

My question today:

How often do you weigh yourself?

I found myself weighing in ever day, no change in the past couple of days (1 week post op). I do not want this to become an unhealthy obsession.

Any advice is welcomed!

Recently finding I do not over-do the scale any more, even better, I just weigh in at same daily times for 2-3 day's to be sure what my actual lost weight is or gains after a month or so, my plan is I now like it this way best.

I weigh every day, as I like to know what my body is doing. How does it correlate with what I have eaten, and my progress so far. I don't fixate on the numbers, but sure get excited when I lose. When I gain, I often say "ok, that sucks, next will be better". I don't get upset. Normal functions cause weights to vary from day to day. Every time I weigh myself it is a surprise to me haha. Btw, I am still pre-op.
