They didn't weigh me.

Come to think about it I do not think I was either.

I believe I was weighed a few days earlier at the pre-op hospital visit. I know I was not weighed on the date of surgery.

I was weighed in day of surgery, only because I didn't know my exact weight.

Hmm. I'm curious because I'd like to know how much I have lost from this lovely pre op diet. I don't own a scale because I know I'd be on it constantly. And in pre op class they said 4 patients that had surgery that morning had lost an average of 10-18# apiece

You can ask them to weigh you...I didn't own a scale back then ...lol...at my pre op app I weighed 304 and day of surgery I was 289..so I list 15 pounds on that evil diet...lol

Had my one week post op visit today! Everything is going great. I don't have a single complaint! Dr. Pham is very pleased with my recovery. I am loving life! Also, since the pre-op diet I'm down 22 pounds! Only 90 more to get to my personal goal!

I feel younger wished I was lol. I was Sleeved July 11. As for being busy my job is very stressful and I end up working late few times per month depending. I also have a young teen with disabilities. I am still finding time to work out.

      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.
