Don't weigh yourself everyday and this question mostly goes away...day to day you are going to fluctuate due to Water and wastes and more. Weekly or less you can "see" the overall picture.

Get a tshirt that is too tight to wear, but big enough to put on - a sausage caseing comes to mind (for me) - then try it on about every other week - you are going to be amazed...keep a new size handy too - so that you always have a tight one and a "loser" one...this will help you see the weight loss even when the scale isn't moving.

Good luck!

When you're so close out from surgery it does become an addiction weighing yourself. My husband DID hide our scale. It's the best thing he could've done. I was up and down the same two pounds and was getting upset daily. Good 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.
