One weight loss dr I had several years ago had one and you step on these sensors on the machine barefoot and also hold some in your hands. From that it tells you your % of fat' date=' Water, muscle, etc. Its pretty cool. Wish my surgeons office had one.[/quote']

Thank you! That comment made my day :) my husband went out to get a scale for me. He bought a $35 one which i told him he was crazy for lol but now im thankful for it. I think a trustworthy scalr is worth the money. Also on 6 lbs and 6 days postop, thats what i lost too!! My start weight was 318 so i was pretty high up there so idk of that has something to do with how fast im losing. But dont get discouraged. I have a friend from vst that was sleeved same day as me, start weight was 215 and she just hit 199 yesterday!!! So proud of her but her loss is def slower than mine. Everyone is diff!! We will all get there!!

I agree! My old one was kind of touchy, so right before my surgery I went on Amazon and ordered their highest rated, best selling scale. Soooo much more reliable!

      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.
