I will be getting WLS soon.  How often do you recommend to weight ourselves during the "losing phase"?

At least once a day, but it is fun to see the weight come off and most of us weighed three or more times a day.

I think it depends on how scale savyy you are. If you use it as a guide, understand that fluctuations are normal, don't flip out when you hit stalls or let it determine how your mood will be during the day then weigh every day.

I weighed myself twice a week so I could see the general trend my weight was going & hopefully catch myself if I saw I was going off track. I have heard some people only weighed themselves at the Drs office so that they'd see a loss & not see how many times their weight bounced around in between.

I do it daily. I have to. I know some vets do and some don't. It keeps me honest with my weight.

Sometimes I will say hide the scale from me when I see it is being excessive. I will say this day this week the scale is coming back out.

I didn't weigh as often as I would have liked. The people at the movie theaters told me I couldn't bring the scale inside, and everyone at church gave me dirty looks when I'd get up to check.

I only do it once a week. In the very beginning I found more made me super obsessive and I would freak out about the number. So I started doing it every Monday to manage my anxiety about it and it works well for me.

I do Monday mornings too.  I have a Fitbit scale which sends the info right to my computer which is really awesome!
