how often do you weigh yourself

[Guest mansaw]

Just curious...how far are you post-op, how often do you weigh yourself? I can tell I am going to have to watch that I dont do it too often - I definately cant do away with the scale though!

Too often! The scale is evil... yet one sits in my bathroom and one sits in my kitchen. You'd think I'd learn! I weigh myself each morning... at the same time --- after my shower. Your weight can fluctuate so much during the day that it can become mad'ning if you step on it too often.

I get sooooooooo bloated at night. I am bad with the scale - I weight myself in the morning then at night and Im always about 3 lbs heavier at night with my big puffy belly

It really depends on how its affecting you - there are so many differing opinions on this one.

If your weight fluctuates a lot and it affects you in a negative manner – try and hold off and find the time when your weight is most stable – (in the am or at night – we’re all different) and only weigh yourself then.

If you like it – keep doing it – find what works best for you and then create a good habit and stay focused.

We're all different - what works well for one person may not work for all. Find your fit and go for it - we're here to succeed in the best way for us!

Banded May 26,2008.I weigh 2x every day.At morning & night.

I want to remind myself of the goal.

My goal.To lose 100 lbs. 76 down so far.

I was just banded on December 22nd, so I'm new to all of this, but I wanted to congratulate you on your weight loss!!! Since May, WOW!

I want to weigh every day, but sometimes I do get disappointed and down when the scale goes up instead of down when I've done everything right. I'm still up in the air about what I will do. I want to retrain my mind. If I weigh everyday, it's just for a record--I will look at the overall effect.

Again, CONGRATS!
