So I was really happy with my weight loss 1 week after surgery and I’m just going to continue to keep doing what I’m doing and ride that good start. I will not continue to weigh myself on the scale everyday. How often do you weigh yourself because I think I need to do it a different way and have a weigh myself game plan.

Can you tell us the scale you have? I’m interested in possibly getting a new one

I'm not @lesslana, but this is the scale I have (the Withings Body+ smart scale).

https://www.withings.com/ca/en/body-plus

It's got pretty good reviews, tracks the main body composition info for up to 8 different people, is wi-fi and bluetooth enabled and now comes in 4 pretty colours, lol (I have white). It doesn't do heart rate though, but my watch does that so I can live with that.

One last thing I want to add to this topic. Stalls happen, fluctuations happen, and some people can take it in stride, and others may tend to get anxious and stressed. If you are on anxious/stressed side, consider taking regular measurements of your "body parts" and you may see decreases in inches even if your scale doesn't move (or goes up).

Case in point: I measure myself every Wednesday (i.e., today is measurement day :). So in the last seven days, I actually GAINED** 1/2 a pound but I lost:

• .25 inches on the measurements of each of my waist, right calf & right upper arm
• .50 inches on the measurements of each of my hips & right thigh
• and, thank goodness, ZERO inches from my boobs this week (I can't lose any more boobage, pls!)

** Now another thing that affects the number on the scale: bathroom usage. I haven't pooped going on 7 days now (this is the longest I've not gone since surgery), and I have an appt with my PCP this afternoon to discuss my current predicament since my various efforts to go have been unsuccessful so far

I have the same scale and only have good things to say about it. I weigh every morning and makes it easy to track and integrates with other apps like loseit to track intake as well.
