Let's Talk About Maintenance

There's no one place on Bariatric Pal that houses questions/comments about maintenance. There probably should be separate forum for maintenance, but I'll start a thread here.

For those of you in maintenance, where are you in your journey? Any lessons learned?

What is "too much"? Why is this a problem? I weigh myself religiously every morning, and I have since day one pre-op. Works for me.

same. i've weighed myself every morning for the past 5 years (when i have access to a scale...sometimes i don't when im on vacay).

and i still track what i eat daily (granted not as meticulously as before...i eyeball alot now vs busting out the scale and measuring cups every time. and i often use pre-set items in MFP vs listing out individual ingredients for foods now)

its not for everyone, but it works for me as well.

i credit this MO (along with regular-enough exercise) with how i have stayed below goal weight this entire time.

Aside: granted im actually waay below goal weight at the moment due to a combination of quitting smoking, going on vacation and then currently being sick as a dog; but i know this is temporary. ??
