I know this is a wierd question, but when you go in to get weighed by your surgeon for the first time, are you in your clothes and shoes or do you wear a gown and go bare feet?

I don't think it's a silly question but I wonder if it's the same for everyone. I'm in my clothes for weigh-in, but I take my shoes off.

For me it was (and still is) clothes and shoes.

I was in my clothes but had to take my shoes off. Funny thing, the nurse measured me @ 5'5 1/2 inches tall. I am 5'6" flat footed. I have been since I was a teen. I wonder if this is a bit of padding the docs use to make sure your BMI is higher. <_<

I am also 5'6" and was measured at 5'5.5! I was thinking the same thing re: the BMI, but didnt really care as long as it got me approved!

Clothes on, shoes and stockings off (for body fat percentage measurement). I actually wear nylons or tights so it's a bit of an ordeal.

      Day 1 of pre-op liquid diet (3 weeks) and I'm having a hard time already. I feel hungry and just want to eat. I got the protein and supplements recommend by my program and having a hard time getting 1 down. My doctor / nutritionist has me on the following:
      1 protein shake (bariatric advantage chocolate) with 8 oz of fat free milk 1 snack = 1 unjury protein shake (root beer) 1 protein shake (bariatric advantage orange cream) 1 snack = 1 unjury protein bar 1 protein shake (bariatric advantace orange cream or chocolate) 1 snack = 1 unjury protein soup (chicken) 3 servings of sugar free jello and popsicles throughout the day. 64 oz of water (I have flavor packets). Hot tea and coffee with splenda has been approved as well. Does anyone recommend anything for the next 3 weeks?

        All I can tell you is that for me, it got easier after the first week. The hunger pains got less intense and I kind of got used to it and gave up torturing myself by thinking about food. But if you can, get anything tempting out of the house and avoid being around people who are eating. I sent my kids to my parents' house for two weeks so I wouldn't have to prepare meals I couldn't eat. After surgery, the hunger was totally gone.

      I have my final approval from my insurance, only thing holding up things is one last x-ray needed, which I have scheduled for the fourth of next month, which is my birthday.
