I have heard good arguements for weighing in daily or weekly. What do you do?

Daily. I know I go up (water) sometimes etc and it doesn't flip me out. But I need that daily "jolt". Otherwise it's too easy for me to "pretend" I'm doing fine even when I'm not. Now that I have the band and don't "diet" I don't obsess over every pound etc like I used to (amazing but true!) so the daily ritual is a good one for me.

I used to only weigh myself once a week on Sunday mornings. I do however find myself weighing myself a few times a week, depending on what my diet is from day to day.

I weigh several times per day. I don't know why, but it keeps me focused. In the past, when I avoided the scale it was because "I couldn't handle the truth" and face the reality of my situation. Weighing everyday keeps me accountable and focused.

I weigh myself at least once a day. it keeps me accountable. i too used to avoid the scale on a regular basis. i used to be scared to look half the time. but now i look forward to getting on it!! its such a rush having the numbers go down instead of up!!

I weight myself first thing every morning. But, I only record my weight on my calendar once a week (on Sundays).

The daily weigh-in keeps me focused and a bit more honest.

To much! I'm one of those people that can't resist getting on the scale every time I walk into the restroom. I don't think it's a good idea, But can't seem to resist. It's kinda funny in a since as I can remember avoiding them at all cost. I didn't even own one until I started my pre-op. I would like to get it down to once a week, I'm working on that. Sometimes I tell myself I'm not getting on that thing but always turn around walk right back in there and jump on. I know terrible!

I weigh every morning and no more the rest of the day. As everyone seems to feel I feel the same way. It keeps me focused. I think once a day is ok as long as you don't get too worked up about up and down a pound or two. Sometimes, I will eat something and gain two pounds the next day. Then, it makes me think about what I ate and what time I ate it and I avoid that the next time. Also, I have hypothyroidism and it really helps me stay on track with the band particularly since I am at the beginning of my journey.

I weigh every morning when I do WiiFit. I go to the bathroom first, and I'm always wearing pretty close to the same thing.

I have only been banded for 3 months. I am trying to weigh myself once a month. I have allowed my weight to control how I feel for way too long! I am learning a new relationship with food. NO MORE CRAZY DIETS!!!! :myscared:Can't say that when I reach my goal won't might weigh weekly or even forbid daily. I sure haven't kept to my monthly but this is a new month so will see how I do? Also looking for NSV. Feel of my clothes, healthy food choices, feeling more comfortable in my skin.....

The last 3 months I have had a love hate relationship with this band. It is getting better......

      I have no clue where to upload this, so I'll put it here. This is pre-op vs the morning of my 6 month appointment! In office I weight 232, that's 88 lbs down since my highest weight, 75 lbs since my surgery weight! I can't believe this jacket fit... I am smaller now than the last time I was this size which the surgeon found really amusing. He's happy with where I am in my weight loss and estimates I'll be around 200 lbs by my 1 year anniversary! My lowest weight as an adult is 195, so that's pretty damn exciting to think I'll be near that at a year. Everything from there will be unknown territory!!

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

        That's brilliant! You've done amazing!! I should probably think about changing my profile picture at some point. Mine is the doll from Squid Games. Ironically the whole premise of the show is about dodging death. We've both done that...

      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! 😞

        I may have to have gall bladder surgery during my weight loss surgery. Not thrilled about it either but do not want 2 recovery times. Just want it over with.

        Thanks for your post. I may need to rethink my decision... :(
