Weigh In? How often or When do you weigh In??
I weigh every single day ... first thing in the morning after voiding ... the scale is an awesome tool ... as well as tracking and journaling and using a measuring tape for body measurements and even height ... I weigh daily ... I take my measurements maybe once a month or bi-monthly or when I am about to sew myself a new outfit with fabric that is different from my norm... My dearest husband who is not a weight loss surgery patient and is 9 years post kidney transplant weighs daily too ...
I weigh every single morning but I don't let the scale determine my mood. I do it to keep on track because I have had a tendency to keep my head in the sand in the past. It works for me but it might not work for you.
Daily. It keeps me on track. I could do a lot of damage in a week

My doctor asks you to weigh daily, same time/same scale, while on the liquid diet and the first 28 days post-op. After that, I will be weighing myself every Monday, since that was my surgery day.
My husband is 7 1/2 months post-op and he loves waiting a whole week to see his progress.
