So I reached goal weight over the weekend to be able to schedule surgery. I was going to head to kaiser this morning to do my official weigh in to get it documented and get to schedule surgery...however I started my period last night and now I'm two lbs up! Any suggestions before weigh in? Quick workout? Water help!

I started my period last night - two lbs up

jmonique

i don't think you should worry about those 2 lbs, really

you lost 14 lbs as "ordered", maybe 12 now

they see you are committed and are following rules :)

"if" they comment about those 2 lbs..............

tell the the truth, that you just started your period

go to get your "official" weight, and continue to be excited :)

good luck

Yeh I emailed surgeon to see and I will go weigh in once they open. Kaiser has a strict 10%weight loss so I've lost 18 but need 20 so we shall see.

Almost every one of my apts my cycle started. My body had me furious at times. I'd say call and ask them if it matters. My Nut would sometimes notate a variance of 2 lbs because it seemed I was always on my cycle during our visits.

Call and see if they would rather you wait a week. At this point, I know you're ready but it won't hurt to wait 1 week if need be. In that time you can work on other parts of the approval if possible.

      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.
