How often does everyone weigh themselves?

Does everyone weight themselves once a week??????? I didnt know what I should do....Im almost afraid to do it. I had my first weigh in at my first post-op doctor appt (and I lost 17 lbs!!!! )., but was going to wait until my one month appt. before I weigh my self again. What does everyone else do?

Tiffany, I am planning to weigh once a week, but my scale doesn't match my doctor's. I am going to track what I weigh at his office as the "official weight" and keep a separate tally for what I weigh at home. When I go to the one month appt., I will see where I am. Linda

Not a good question for me, I am a "scale ho". I have to get on it everyday. No way I couldn't. I went through a week and half with no movement and one day I gained one lb. but all and all it's been ok. I know I shouldn't weigh this much, but I can't help myself. I AM WEAK.... Sue 273/261/230/140

ANYWAYS MY ADVICE DON'T BUY ANY SCALES AND DON'T WEIGH AT ALL NOT FOR LIKE A MONTH IF YOU GOT SELF CONTROL LIKE THAT BECAUSE I DONT AND I AM A SCALE HO AS SUE SAYS......

well i'm almost 3 weeks post and what i've done so far is weighed myself at my 1 week post apt and at 2 weeks i went to my gym and weighed in there because they have the same scale as my dr. i think once a week is good. i wouldn't do good everyday but lets see because i start the gym tomorrow and that all might change if i see i loose a lil everyday i work out, so i might get scale crazy. i haven't weighed myself in a week so lets hope at my dietician apt tomorrow morning i have lost at least 5 lbs the past week. i meet my trainer tomorrow afternoon so im excited for that too and i also go back to work so can you say LONG DAY!!!! take care all, maria

I am almost two weeks out and have not yet weighed. I am going to wait until I go to the doctor's office next week. Then I think I will weigh monthly! I am afraid of my reactions if the scale doesn't say what I think/want it should say!!! This was a great question by the way!!

I weight everyday. I know they say not to, but I'm too nosey. I don't let the numbers affect me because I'm seeing physical changes.

I am weak and weight myself everyday, even though they tell me once a week. I find if I get all my liquid and protein in, I loose more. But if I short myself on liquid and protein intake, I stay the same or gain. I do not let it bother me, I just think it is interesting.

Ok, so I guess I'll go buy a scale today. I just know myself and I'll be a "scale ho" too....
