When do you weigh your self? This morning I weighed @242... This afternoon just for giggles did again and came in @240. Weird I thought.

Personally, morning. But I think you can weight yourself whenever you want, just do it that same time everyday. That will give you a better idea of your actual weight loss. Also, If you are weighing yourself a lot during the day, you may not always like what it says.

I refuse to be "tied down" to my scales. I am pre op and right now I am weighing myself every morning just to make sure I havent gained any..I have a son that lives in the next own over who will come over often I have told him by the time I get home from hospital I want him to hide the scales and when he comes to visit I will weigh myself.....If I do what I am supposed to do its going to come off. It didnt all come on in a day and its surely not coming off in a day I dont want to have the roller coaster ride of the ups and downs after the surgery, you usually gain a little right after from what Ive read and Im not going to let the scales control my life....well thats the plan anyway...LOL

I am addicted to my scale. Always weigh about 2 pounds more at night. Now I know I can get on my scale and if I weigh my morning weight at night I will usually lose in the morning. I am addicted to weighing!

I the same way! When I weigh the same as or less than I did in the morning I'm always excited to weigh the following morning because I know for sure the scale will have dropped again

      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.
