Yesterday, I was whining about how my scale was saying I weighed 180.0, but it refused to go below that amount.

One of my friends suggested I cut off a pinky finger. He asked when do we ever use both pinkies at the same time anyway?

And today, my scale gave in and let me know that I weigh 179.4.

Even better -- I still have all my body parts and didn't even get a drastic haircut to make it happen.

I am loving that my scale is moving down again!

It is so crazy how ounces can effect our determination to keep working that sleeve. What a great day, congratulations!

I agree it's all on how you feel and the way your clothes fit. We focus so much on the number we forget that it's just a number and not who we are

For me, today, I was happy to worship the scale. From May to September, I lost 5 pounds total. It was a long long stall, and I stayed on track and kept on keeping on despite what the scale said.

Since Sept. 10, I have lost another 5 pounds, and I am loving the scale again.

I have felt great since I had my surgery in August 2011, but I love stepping on that scale and seeing the numbers go down, down, down. :)

      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.
