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..

My surgeon recommends weighing daily. The rationale is that it "keeps you honest" and able to adjust caloric intake and/or exercise in a more timely fashion before a little gain becomes a big gain :-)

I continue to weigh at least once a day. I just got back from vacation and was looking for scales while I was there...I would have taken mine if it wasnt glass...lol but thankfully no wt gain!!!!

I started out weighing once a day. Then I would stand on it twice and sometimes three times a day. So, I went to the opposite extreme and weighed only at my dr's office once a month. Both were making me crazy.

I've finally found a balance that works for me. I do it on Wednesday evenings at the gym - always on the same scale and try to pay less attention to the actual number than the direction I'm going because I know it won't weigh the same as my dr's scale.< /p>

Girls I need to flow with as much positive information as possiable. I weigh every two wks at home followed by monthly with my Dr. I will not be bothered with the flucuations of my weight on a daily basis

I weigh every morning. I do wii fit and it weighs you every time. So every morning for me. I like even if I have not lost because it motivates me to see a loss the next day.

I try to weigh myself daily. I think it's the only way to keep you honest. If you see the number creeping up you can quickly adjust your diet/exercise. If you wait to long to weigh it can be discouraging if it jumps to high and to me this causes failure, but that's just my opinion.

I weight daily, after I get up and use the bathroom. I find weighing at the same time is more accurate.

I weigh at least twice a day. Usually before I go to sleep and when I wake up.

I weigh myself every morning before I've had anything to eat or drink.

      I changed my profile image to a molecule of protein. Why? Because I am certain that it saved my life.

      Two years out. Lost 120 , regained 5 lbs. Recently has a bout of Norovirus, lost 7 pounds in two days. Now my stomach feels like it did right after my surgery. Sore, sensitive to even water.  Anyone out there have a similar experience?

      April Surgery
      Am I the only struggling to get weight down. I started with weight of 297 and now im 280 but seem to not lose more weight. My nutrtionist told me not to worry about the pounds because I might still be losing inches. However, I do not really see much of a difference is this happen to any of you, if so any tips?
      Thanks

      Well recovering from gallbladder removal was a lot like recovering from the modified duodenal switch surgery, twice in 4 months yay 🥳😭. I'm having to battle cravings for everything i shouldn't have, on top of trying to figure out what happens after i eat something. Sigh, let me fast forward a couple of months when everyday isn't a constant battle and i can function like a normal person again! 😞
