im just on the pre op diet and I find myself weighing once a day. I think im excited and want to see that im going in the right direction. I will have to stop that though becasue it can have a negative affect on my attitude if I dont see a change.

When I'm sticking to a diet, I weigh every morning. When I fall off the wagon, I can go months without weighing. Right now I'm weighing every morning and sighing because I'm in Bandster Hell!!!! :crying: grrrrrr.... (That's me and my stomach making that noise!!!)

I'm right there with you Ann. I weigh everyday. and I am also in Bandster hell, and it s*cks. It's gotten to the point that I get really excited about a 2 oz weight loss, even though the whole number hasn't changed. I have been at this weight for two weeks now. UGH!!!!!!

I weigh myself every morning, after I go to the bathroom, after I get out of the shower, before I go to bed, and even after sex.

I dont think weighing in multiple times a day is a bad thing, I can keep track of what works for me and what doesn't. If I go a week or two without weighing myself and if I gain weight I will not know what caused it.

I am used to doing it this way, as I was a wrestler and boxer and had to make weight. I learned by weighing myself multiple times daily what I could eat and couldn't to make my weight class.

I weigh myself daily when I'm "on track" and expecting to see good results. I don't get discouraged if it doesn't move every day, though, so it's not a bad obsession.

What I find is that in the periods where I'm NOT stepping on the scale, it's because I know I'm off the wagon - I know that the numbers will go up and I'm sort of in denial about it. (Well, not really in denial, but not wanting to face it in terms of the realities of the numbers).

I'm A-OK with weighing every morning.

I used to be like that (weighing all day, every day) until I had my surgery (1 year ago). At that time I promised myself I would only weigh at my monthly Doctor appts. I have kept that promise. I'm glad I did. It is much less frustrating for me. I'm now at goal (actually less than goal) and have just now bought a new digital scale to weigh on weekly. (because I now only have to see the doctor every 2 months and want to keep a closer eye on my weight).

I know myself, and I get too obsessed with the numbers, so weighing myself daily is just toooo much for me.

To each his own. Do what works for you.

I did that on my pre op diet. It got so bad, that when I had my surgery last week, I asked my sister to hide my scale from me until Monday mornings. That's when I will weigh myself from now on. Otherwise, I'd be on it every hour!

I guess if you don't get upset by what you see maybe its ok to weigh all the time. But if it ruins your mood maybe find a trusted soul to keep it except one a week. I am also a scale whore and I'm thinking about asking my DH to keep it somewhere I cant find it because I do get kind of ruined if it goes up a pound from day to day even though I know its meaningless...probably just too much salt on the rim of the glass the night before!

      Iʻm roughly 6 weeks post-op this morning and have begun to feel like a normal human, with a normal human body again. I started introducing solid foods and pill forms of medications/supplements a couple of weeks ago and it's really amazing to eat meals with my family again, despite the fact that my portions are so much smaller than theirs. 
      I live on the island of Oʻahu and spend a lot of time in the water- for exercise, for play,  and for spiritual & mental health. The day I had my month out appointment with my surgeon, I packed all my gear in my truck, anticipating his permission to get back in the ocean. The minute I walked out of that hospital I drove straight to the shore and got in that water. Hallelujah! My appointment was at 10 am. I didn't get home until after 5 pm. 
      I'm down 31 pounds since the day of surgery and 47 since my pre-op diet began, with that typical week long stall occurring at three weeks. I'm really starting to see some changes lately- some of my clothing is too big, some fits again. The most drastic changes I notice however are in my face. I've also noticed my endurance and flexibility increasing. I was really starting to be held up physically, and I'm so grateful that I'm seeing that turn around in such short order. 
      My general disposition lately is hopeful and motivated. The only thing that bugs me on a daily basis still is the way those supplements make my house smell. So stink! But I just bought a smell proof bag online that other people use to put their pot in. My house doesn't stink anymore.

      Oh yeah, something I wanted to rant about, a billing dispute that cropped up 3 months ago.
      Surgery was in August of 2023. A bill shows up for over $7,000 in January. WTF? I asks myself. I know that I jumped through all of the insurance hoops and verified this and triple checked that, as did the surgeon's office. All was set, and I paid all of the known costs before surgery.
      A looong story short, is that an assistant surgeon that was in the process of accepting money from my insurance company touched me while I was under anesthesia. That is what the bill was for. But hey, guess what? Some federal legislation was enacted last year to help patients out when they cannot consent to being touched by someone out of their insurance network. These types of bills fall under something called, "surprise billing," and you don't have to put up with it.
      https://www.cms.gov/nosurprises
      I had to make a lot of phone calls to both the surgeon's office and the insurance company and explain my rights and what the maximum out of pocket costs were that I could be liable for. Also had to remind them that it isn't my place to be taking care of all of this and that I was going to escalate things if they could not play nice with one another.
      Quick ending is that I don't have to pay that $7,000+. Advocate, advocate, advocate for yourself no matter how long it takes and learn more about this law if you are ever hit with a surprise bill.

      Some days I feel like an infiltrator... I'm participating in society as a "thin" person. They have no idea that I haven't always been one of them! 🤣

      Thank you everyone for your well wishes! I totally forgot I wrote an update here... I'm one week post op today. I gained 15 lbs in water weight overnight because they had to give me tons of fluids to bring my BP up after surgery! I stayed one night in the hospital. Everything has been fine except I seem to have picked up a bug while I was there and I've been running a low grade fever, coughing, and a sore throat. So I've been hydrating well and sleeping a ton. So far the Covid tests are negative.
      I haven't been able to advance my diet past purees. Everything I eat other than tofu makes me choke and feels like trying to swallow rocks. They warned me it would get worse before it gets better, so lets hope this is all normal. I have my follow up on Monday so we'll see. Living on shakes and soup again is not fun. I had enough of them the first time!! LOL

      Still purging all of the larger clothing. This morning, a shirt that I ADORED wearing ended up on top. Hard to let it go, but it was also hard to let go of those habits that also no longer serve my highest good. Onward and upward!
