side-eyeing my scale today... 18lbs in one week?



Recommended Posts

I didn't start weighing myself daily until I started the liquid diet. I have a goal to be less than 400lbs before surgery. I wasn't sure I'd make it when I started.

Well, yesterday I was 409.

This morning, I'm 405.

Last Sunday, I was 423. 18 lbs in 1 week seems IMPOSSIBLE to be true.

I'm weighing myself right after I wake up in the morning each time, so that time of day won't affect the results so much.

Is it possible to lose 4lbs in a day? I'm not sure I believe my scale! But I weighed myself a few times and it kept coming back as 405!

Yesterday, I was really feeling the tiredness of cutting your calories so dramatically. I "napped" from about 4pm until 11pm, got up, drank a glass of Water while wandering the internet a bit, then went back to sleep from about 1am til 5am. I feel a lot less tired than I did yesterday, but all that sleeping caused me to miss out on 1 or 2 "meals" of Protein shake. Could that really cause a 4lb weight loss??

Anyway, I'm gonna go do laundry while I still feel like I have the energy to do it. Feedback is appreciated... :)

4 lbs = 4x 3500 calories = approx 14000 calories. it's unlikely @ 409 lbs. Part of the loss is Water. less excess water weight is good for your heart so you win

I love your new picture but I'm old and get confused when people change their pictures sometimes. I don't put 2 and 2 together all the time that's its the same person.

I get used to pictures sometimes more than names!

I think everyone should PM me first to let me know so I can register it in my itty bitty pea brain

:P

Girl, you may as well forget about being a sleeve guru - I think you're about to become an aspiring evangelist in a few more posts!

      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.
