How often do you weigh yourself after WLS?

I had an RNY a week ago. At this point I am scared to weigh myself for fear of retaining fluid. Not sure when to weigh myself. Every month, week or day? In previous attempts with weight loss programs I found the weekly weigh in daunting due to the fact that I was a slow lose most people weigh themselves.

    I weigh myself every 3 months at my follow-up with my surgeon. But, that is due to my therapist and nutritionist highly recommending it for me. I have a long history of becoming way too obsessed with

I weigh four times weekly (Mon Tue Thu and Sat) and track my average rather than individual weights.

I don't, mainly because my bathroom scale doesn't handle going above 300 all that well, heh - most of my weigh-ins have been at either my PCP's office or the weight-and-wellness center where my surgeon is based. They properly calibrate their scales.

The FITINDEX and Renpho smart scales (both about $25 US on Amazon) do well up to their limit of 400. I find I am consistently within a pound or two of my doctor's scale, which could just be clothing.
