Went for an unfill today! there scale is different



Recommended Posts

I went for an unfill today because over the past week I have been getting tighter and tighter. I am feeling much better. I had some soft mushies tonight and I can already tell a difference.

They took my weight there and they said I am down 40 lbs. which I like alot. Their scale was reading the same as mine was at home (but mine was first thing in the morning and with just a tshirt on).

So I am wondering if my scale is off??? Its a digital and gives body fat also, so its kind of a nice one. I just dont know, the doctors office is always 3-5 higher than mine.

Girl don't sweat the small stuff, my scale goes from one range to the other. No scale will say the exact same reading all the time. Plus you have to take into account if you have eaten, pooped, drank tons of Water. Its a lot of things that can make a scale read a certain way. Don't sweat the scale instead use body measurements and how your clothes are fitting. Remember there will be some weeks when your body won't show the difference in weight on the scale, but it will show up in you loose clothes. I had to tell myself that because I was getting obsessed with the numbers. Then I realized that my body is different than others. I weigh 214 now and can were size 14 in pants while someone else who is 214 may be in an 18. Trust you body on this journey.

I always weigh 3 or 4 pounds more at the doctor than I did at home.

      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.
