I'm debating on whether I should weigh once a week or once in the morning. The once a day thing is getting very depressing because I don't see anything happening. What do you all do?

Three times a day when I'm losing, and once a week when I'm not!

Seriously, I use it as incentive and as a warning, so I can adjust what I'm eating if I don't see results.

If I walk by the scale I usually end up on it. I agree it gets to be depressing because I am not losing as fast as others, but I keep doing it anyway. :smile:

I'm on it every morning - mostly because I can't believe it isn't moving! lol . . . but I want to know if things move . . . in any direction. I sure don't want to start putting pounds back on!

Every day!! Sometimes again in the evening if I feel that I've been particularly good or bad :smile:

I have now started taking measurements so that I can see it changing when the scale doesn't. (one more thing to obsess over lol)

I feel horrid if I can't weigh myself - like on vacation. I have to know how I'm doing.

When I was first banded, I weighed several time a day. It became like an obsession. I had to stop that because it was getting too frustrating. I now fluctuate between weighing every morning and every other morning but no longer several times a day.

I admit I am obsessed. I weight many many times a day. I bought a new scale today and I could hardly wait till I got home to see what it said! I opened it in the car! It weighs me a bit higher than my old one, sad to say. So now I hate the new one. We aren't on good terms.

I voted for once a day...but it's more like when I "feel" like I've lost or I need an early morning smile!

I get out of bed, and weigh in the buff....don't want any extra...

Hi, I am a newbie--. I weigh 3 x per week and I do it about the same time every morning. I would be curious to see what others do--I may change to 1 x per week??

Do u ever get frustrated weighing every day if the scale doesn't show a weight loss?? That's my biggest worry, I don't want to set myself up for a guilt trip if I'm not losing everyday..

      Well, tomorrow I go in for an impromptu hiatal hernia repair after ending up in the ER over the weekend because I couldn't get food down and water was moving at a trickle... I've been having these symptoms on and off for a few weeks but Sunday was the worst by far and came with chest pain and trouble breathing. The ER PA thinks it is just esophagitis and that the surgeon and radiologist are wrong. But the bariatric surgeon swears it is a hernia, possibly a sliding one based on my symptoms. So he fit me into his schedule this week to repair it! I hope he's right and this sorts it out. He's going to do a scope afterwards to be sure there is nothing wrong with the esophagus. Here's hoping it all goes well!!

      Having gall bladder surgery in a few days and I so hope the recovery is easier than the one from the modified DS! I could use a bit of luck/pep talk for a change. I'm starting to be able to walk around without experiencing dizziness, but it would be great if the random pain in my chest and abdomen would go away!!
