Dont get the weighing daily idea

I'm on the same page as you.  As a matter of fact, I didn't own a scale until January.  When I had my surgery last July, I would only get on a scale at medical appointments.  I know me, and I knew that I would obsess on the numbers and probably do more damage than good.

Since the number of medical appointments have slowed down, I bought a scale and I now weigh myself every 10 days or so just to check in.  I don't really care about the numbers. I care about how I feel and how healthy I am.  And that's what I focus on.

I am 6 yrs post-op and the first 16 months or so I would weigh myself once a week usually on a Sunday before breakfast.  I always felt that my emotional well being was important and I didn't want to freak  out over a 1lb or so this way or that, believe me I have seen people have some really sad moments when the scale didn't move for a few days or they were retaining water.

Some people benefit from weighing myself daily, I would not have.  If you follow the instructions, you will lose actual weight and at times the inches may show the loss more than a scale...so start wearing non-elastic pants and evaluate success by that~!
