How Often Do You Weigh Yourself?

When I started this journey back in the summer, based on recommendations here and other places, I got the RENPHO smart scale. I'm very happy with it so far. https://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B083S5W3PD/ref=ppx_yo_dt_b_search_asin_title?ie=UTF8&psc=1

Did some reading on this one, the scale itself got pretty good reviews (the app however does not)...weight to the 100th lb on the device itself...exactly what I was looking for! If this had been available back when I was looking for one, it would have definitely been a contender.

Edited to add: Hmmm.....I see that there are actually more scales now out there with weight displays to 2 decimal points!

Well thanks to you all, and an Amazon Black Friday sale, I actually weigh myself TWICE each morning now! I haven't been able to hook my scale to bluetooth (either of them....grrrrr) but I will ask my son to figure it out tomorrow. I have a Fitbit scale and the Renphro and they are weighing consistently, although this morning the Renphro was 0.1 favorable, so that's the weight I went with!! LOL

For those that don’t have a Renpho, hop on Amazon and grab one! Can’t beat the price. This is what it looks like on my phone. Just have to open the app on your phone then step on scale. So easy!

I should get one. They're incredible affordable.

For those of you who weigh every day, how many pounds gain do you accept until the alarm bell goes off?

I'd say 3 pounds is the alarm bell for me.

I weigh myself once a week, except this week, I weighed twice and was disappointed. Still lost, but not as much as I had hoped. Sticking to once a week from now on.

Every. Single. Day.

100% of the time when I stop weighing, it’s because I don’t want to see what it’s going to say. As a result, over the past 3-4 years I’ve gained 60 pounds, in 5-10 pound increments during periods of not stepping on the scale. Sigh. So, I’m back to daily weights.

I have been worried about this, and am going to preventatively have my husband do the same! I am going to weigh myself Tuesday morning when I start the liquid diet, the morning of surgery in 15 days (eeeeek!) and then monthly after that. I don’t want to fall into the trap of measuring “success” in that way from the beginning!

      Day 1 of pre-op liquid diet (3 weeks) and I'm having a hard time already. I feel hungry and just want to eat. I got the protein and supplements recommend by my program and having a hard time getting 1 down. My doctor / nutritionist has me on the following:
      1 protein shake (bariatric advantage chocolate) with 8 oz of fat free milk 1 snack = 1 unjury protein shake (root beer) 1 protein shake (bariatric advantage orange cream) 1 snack = 1 unjury protein bar 1 protein shake (bariatric advantace orange cream or chocolate) 1 snack = 1 unjury protein soup (chicken) 3 servings of sugar free jello and popsicles throughout the day. 64 oz of water (I have flavor packets). Hot tea and coffee with splenda has been approved as well. Does anyone recommend anything for the next 3 weeks?

        All I can tell you is that for me, it got easier after the first week. The hunger pains got less intense and I kind of got used to it and gave up torturing myself by thinking about food. But if you can, get anything tempting out of the house and avoid being around people who are eating. I sent my kids to my parents' house for two weeks so I wouldn't have to prepare meals I couldn't eat. After surgery, the hunger was totally gone.

      I have my final approval from my insurance, only thing holding up things is one last x-ray needed, which I have scheduled for the fourth of next month, which is my birthday.
