I would trust the dr.'s scale. And for my first post-op appt., I took my new scale (it's lightweight) with to the office so I could see how different they were. Mine says .8 lighter than the dr.'s scale.

This is exactly WHY i have been preaching all over this forum not to weigh yourself all the time. . . only at the doctor. . . I threw out my scale the day i came home from surgery . . . and now only weigh at my doctor appts. . . do you know how shocked i was when at my first week and half out of surgery the doctor scale showed i lost 32lbs? Then at my 7 week out i had lost 53lbs? it is so great not being a slave of the scale . . . these home scales are such a farce . . . i only believe in the doctor scale. . . good luck to you. . .

Ok I am really thinking of tossing my scale, I have been gaining weight because I am so afraid of something getting stuck! Today I was "29 lbs to lose" that is only 4 lbs from when I started seriously thinking of the revision. It is 9 lbs up from my lowest weight with the band. I get my unfill 3/1. :thumbup1:

So glad when this obsession is finally over!:thumbup1:

On a positive note off the caffeine. Only drinking Decaf tea. Don't drink coffee (latte now and then-will get decaf) Ok I know chocolate has caffeine but not there yet! :001_smile:

      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.
