You can do it! Really don't worry about the scale right now! There will plenty of time for that after the surgery...

I should know, I'm one of those crazy daily step on the scale people. :)

Oh and drink your water:p

You really do need to drink your Water. That is key. If you cant do it with just water, add it to crystal light or something sugar free and low calorie that you like.

I too was very frustrated on the preop because I felt like I was starving but the scale barely moved. Then when I was weighed before surgery it was surprising! Scale had certainly moved! Lost 10 of the 11 lb goal. Just stick with it and like they said, ignore the scale for now . . . . And more water!

I was like that to on my liver shrinking diet didn't lose anything for a week then stepped on the scale and dropped 3 more lbs, don't sweat the small stuff sweetie. Don't be a slave to the scale it will make you crazy just do what you are suppose to do and you will be fine. Here are some tips for weighting in:

1. Only weigh once a week

2. Weigh after you have had your first run to the rest room, you will be surprised how much poop and pee weigh....lol

3. never weigh after a meal or before you go to bed, you will be disappointed.

4. WEIGH IN THE MORNING AFTER YOU PEE AND POOP.....

5. NEVER WEIGH YOURSELF MORE THAN ONCE A WEEK

I know I repeated myself but it was for a reason it is important.....And remember you are beginning a lifestyle change, embrace it and have fun with it.......

4. WEIGH IN THE MORNING AFTER YOU PEE AND POOP.....

I really agree with #4. Weighing in the morning before you eat or drink makes for a pretty good baseline for tracking weight.

if u think getting your Water in now is difficult ---- it is harder after surgery. And if you don't get the water in, and take it seriously, you will become dehydrated-and end up in the hospital. Just saying. Good luck to you.

      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.
