I'm pre op July 13th- but of course trying to read everything I can before. I see threads where people get nervous if they haven't lost from one day to the next- how often do you weigh yourself?

I have weighed myself every day since I can remember. I have been obsessed with my weight and dieting since I was 8. so I have literally seen myself go from 65 lbs to 324 and now back to 279. Talk about crazy, you are looking at her. I won't change that now. It part of my routine, go to bathroom, wash hands, get on the scale. When the battery goes out I feel lost. It's just like a watch dying. I still wear it because it feels weird not to.

I wish I was writing something profound, but I can't. I weigh myself naked every morning daily. I can honestly say I am not as obsessed with the number now that I've reached one milestone (weighing under 200 pounds).

However, the weight I focus on the most is the # I see on the scale at the weight center when I check in. Which right now I'm there at least one or twice a month for groups.

It's hard not to focus on the weight loss. The number I'm most impressed with, even more than the weight is my A1C (I am a type II diabetic).

Anyway, good luck everyone! Tomorrow I will be 8 weeks post op.

2-3x a day, yep totally obsessed and have been for years.

I've noticed that different scales will weigh me at different weights...this drives me crazier then anything! I try to weigh myself! But it doesn't always work. My favorite time to weigh in is on Monday

I weigh myself everyday at the same time. My scale records my weight onto an app so I can see the graph of my weight loss over time. I started weighing myself during my med sup. weight loss and I really enjoy looking back at all the progressive made.

I'm ridiculously obsessed and have been weighing in multiple times a day while on the pre op diet. I'm overly anxious about making sure that I lose weight before surgery day. It's way too much. The people who are weighing in weekly are probably healthier, but I don't think I'm going to be able to resist daily weigh ins.

You will lose with the pre op cleanse any remaining problem pounds. I only had to lose 4-5 lbs prior to surgery and I fluctuated bad until the magnesium citrate. Lost it the night before.
