Poll! How often did you weigh yourself pre op?

Before you had WLS, and before you started a six month supervised diet if you had to do one of those, how often would you say you weighed yourself?

Daily?
Weekly?
Monthly?
Once or twice a year?
Less than once a year?

And did you weigh yourself at home?
When you went to the doctor?
Somewhere else?

And finally, do you think the frequency of how often you weighed yourself contributed to gaining enough weight to need WLS?  Like, I only weighed myself a couple times a year, but I don't think that meant I didn't know I was overweight and therefore kept overeating so I got really fat.  I knew I was big even though I didn't get on the scale.

I thnk what you are getting at...you might want to include before you started THINKING about WLS.

My answer is the last time I weighed myself on a scale before I started thinking about WLS was after I gave birth to my 2nd daughter in 2001.

I started the WLS process in 2007. So six years. I was weighed at the doctors but often elected to close my eyes and asked NOT to hear my weight out loud.

Only when I was dieting. I did Atkins, weighed daily. Stopped Atkins, didn't step on a scale for almost a year. Weigh****chers.. Weighted weekly at meetings. Stopped going to meetings, stopped getting on the scale.

I would weigh at doctors appointments, but pretended they didnt concern me. Would act like. Had the world under control when the number was down, and had a list of excuses when the number was up.

I dont remember ever being really surprised by the weight, I had serious denial issues.

I weighed once a week at least. I was a yo-yo dieter and I'd lose 50 then watch the scale be stagnant for months then creep up again. Whenever I'd get to 245 I'd get super mad at myself, diet my butt off again and repeat the cycle.

Never stopped watching the scale though.

I weighed myself at home pretty much every day, often multiple times a day, and still do 2 years after WLS. I think I have always felt that even as big as I was, I would get much bigger if I didn't keep my eye on that number. My highest weight ever (recorded) was 297 lbs. That was recorded at one of my Weigh****chers forays. That weight terrifed me because it was so close to 300. I lost 50 lbs @ WW that time, then found out I was pregnant with my 3rd child and of course quit trying to lose anymore at that time.

Never at home and only when I had to at the doctor's office.

I'm still pre-op but before I started my dr supervised weight loss I weighed myself at home every other week. Now I weight every week since I'm doing weigh****chers and if I don't record a weight I get a mean email from them that's like 'you didn't weight, are you tracking your stuff or not?!'. I weigh once a month at the doctor. I'd really rather weight just every other week or once a month but I will do once a week if that's what weigh****chers wants me to do.

btw...I guess it was because I'm sick this week but I did my weekly weigh this morning and I've lost 6.2lbs this week. Normally I lose 1-1.5lbs/wk

 Before my 6mth nutrition program I only got weighed at doctor appointments. 

I weigh my self daily(first thing in the morning) since the age of 16. I am 50.  I will continue to weigh myself daily for the rest of my life.  Only exception is when I am not at home ie. vacation, working third shift, etc.
