I just feel that weighing myself everyday does more harm then good. I definitely agree with everyone here on why you should weigh yourself daily, but I find that I'm obsessing to much on the number, and want to throw my scale out the window...lol...so to prevent doing that I just need a break from weighing myself. Still gonna stay on track but just not going to weigh myself.

I weigh myself every morning and log the data into a spreadsheet so I can plot the data in a graph.

I think that's good for you, and you know what's best for you :) I didn't mean to imply that you should figure out how to weigh yourself daily. I meant to back up your statements, because I agree, it can do more harm than good if you can't get past the daily number. If it upset me every time I got on the scale and was unhappy with the number, I wouldn't do it either. There is no one right way to get the job done, for sure!

Wow. I am amazed at the discipline of weighing and graphing. Kudos to you. I only weigh myself at my surgeon's office because I want to use the same scale. It's not important enough for me to buy a scale and sync with that. I go mostly by how my clothes fit. The important part for me is my health issues improving. I've improved in so many areas (HBP- down to 1 pill vs 4, sleep apnea - gone, Diabetes - off insulin shots and down to 1 pill a day, cholesterol down) that's what excites me. I'm 9 weeks out and saw my surgeon yesterday and was surprised I had lost 42 lbs. It felt kind of like being pregnant for 9 months and waiting until the birth to see if it's a boy or girl. It felt great! My hopes to all of you that your journey be joyfilled.

      I changed my profile image to a molecule of protein. Why? Because I am certain that it saved my life.

      Two years out. Lost 120 , regained 5 lbs. Recently has a bout of Norovirus, lost 7 pounds in two days. Now my stomach feels like it did right after my surgery. Sore, sensitive to even water.  Anyone out there have a similar experience?

      April Surgery
      Am I the only struggling to get weight down. I started with weight of 297 and now im 280 but seem to not lose more weight. My nutrtionist told me not to worry about the pounds because I might still be losing inches. However, I do not really see much of a difference is this happen to any of you, if so any tips?
      Thanks

      Well recovering from gallbladder removal was a lot like recovering from the modified duodenal switch surgery, twice in 4 months yay 🥳😭. I'm having to battle cravings for everything i shouldn't have, on top of trying to figure out what happens after i eat something. Sigh, let me fast forward a couple of months when everyday isn't a constant battle and i can function like a normal person again! 😞
