Hey everyone!

Just curious, how often do you weigh yourself? I am 4 days post op and have already made the decision that I will only be seeing how much I weigh on my scheduled doctor's visits.

I've noticed a lot on IG that people weigh themselves daily and get discouraged. Yes, bypass helps but sometimes you will not lose weight or sometimes you won't lose what you want. I don't want a scale to distract me mentally from this journey.

Daily. Keeps me in check being 18 months post op. When I have a gain of a lb or two, I always know the reason why and just make sure to do better the next day.

I'm like nymea. At first I'd stuck to once a week. But the past month I'm melting away, so I'm weighting myself daily in awe. I'm also trying new foods and adding a tiny bit of vegetables so I want to see how my weight will react to the carbs as small as it is.

I weigh daily and record my weight in an app called Happy scale. It is awesome. It gives you a rolling average of weight loss, current rate of loss, projections for when you will reach your goal based on a few scenarios. I really recommend it.

I live on the scale. I probably get my 10k steps by walking back and forth from my living room to my scale hehe. I also log every bite I put in my mouth and every sip that I take, every minute I exercise. For me, it's all about accountability. I try not to let the temporary water gain freak me out. If I'm taking in 1000 calories a day of clean food and exercising an hour a day, logically I know the weight gain is either muscle or water. I have to do this (everyone is different), or I'll find myself near 300 lbs. again. It's the only thing that works with me. It's my way of ninja.

Right now it's weekly on a Sunday. I may change that to every two weeks or monthly. Don't know yet.

Daily for the last 3 or so years. Lately it has been once a week. I will be starting a diet next month so I will probably weight more often, a few times a week.

Im almost 3 weeks post op and only weigh myself once a week.
