Great job, I find weighing myself keeps me motivated, others get to obsessed with the scale, either way, awesome and good luck.

Excellent job !

I'm a big believer of only weighing yourself once a week or better yet once a month.

I got rid of my scale a month before my surgery when I had my physical with my family doctor. BEST thing I ever did. While I was losing I got weighed and measured every month with my family doctor. I also got weighed at the clinic when I got a fill (4 times). I found this kept me really motivated and on track I wasn't focused on the scale. The inches REALLY were noticeable.

I still get weighed in every month with my family doctor.

Yippee! That's a great result but don't worry too much about the number in the coming weeks as your body adjusts -- you will be down another twenty before you know it!

Great job. I sometimes get to obsessed with getting weighed. I need to put the scale out in the garage and go get it once every 2 weeks. Best of luck.

      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.
