Ok so I have lost 3.2 pounds of the 5 I have to lose by the 24th. Which is good buttt. My appointment is I'm the evening and I am weighing in the morning when I wake up and after an hour I will get back in and weigh 2 pounds more. So I am not sure if I have lost anything. Being all said this is making me think I have to lose way more then the 5 pounds so it will show up as 5 pounds at weigh in. What I have been doing is I reduced my calorie intake from 1500 to 1200 and upped exercise to be burning at least 700 calories a day. What can I change or do different to lose this weight in 10 days??

I would not eat or drink anything before you weigh in. I weigh myself every morning AFTER I use the bathroom. If I would to weigh myself at the end of the day of course it would be highger because of the eating and drinking during the day. What works for me is that I peep and poop every single morning on schedule - LOL so I get a pretty good weight AFTER the waste is down the toilet :)

I agree. It will make for a long day with an evening appointment but I've found that even having a morning cup of coffee before weighing increases my weight. It actually increases it by more than a cup of coffee could possibly weigh which makes no sense at all. Lol. But I've checked it any number of times and the results are always an increase in my weight. Empty stomach is the best way to go!

I would give it a try. I have heard to drink half of your weight in ounces per day. I also have found that by using my calories for each day by going above ( a little one day and under the next keeps my body guessing a bit. No starvation mode. Crystal light helps me get in more fluids and fresco chicken soft tacos at taco bell help with flavor and time.

Yes, I'm on fitness pal (tp100) friend me if u like :)

Are you close enough to the doc that you could maybe go weigh in first thing in the morning and then your scheduled appt that evening. I know that wouldn't work for everybody but like in my case that is what I would try to do because I am only about 15 mins from weight loss center. Just a thought.

Try to eliminate sodium as much as possible so you won't retain Water that will help but don't get dehydrated.

I have been doing that. Lot 3 pounds of the 5 I need to lose by the 24th. So I am going back to my 1500 calorie diet that nut put me on. I changed it to 1200 to help but the only thing it did was make me obsessed about food more and ffelt guilty if o went over 10 calories over 1200

      Two months out from hiatal hernia repair.  Surgeon said to expect a lot more flatulence...something about the 'air' no longer being able to 'burp' out so comes out the other end.  That is my experience but have no understanding of why that swallowed air cannot be 'burped'. ???

        As I understand it since your stomach is smaller and not completely resting against your diaphragm anymore you no longer have the ability to "push" burps out as well. Plus, since its smaller and we don't digest slower the trapped air moves a lot quicker out of the stomach so its no longer available to burp out. Hence the other option for removal.

        Me too girl!! Are you in the full liquid diet right now? It’s sooooo hard!

      2. LadyVeteran1

        Not yet. I was told I only have to do 24 hours of a liquid diet. But I have my pre-op tomorrow so I’m going to confirm if I need to do longer.

        Your so close now! It's gonna be great :) Wishing you a speedy recovery and looking forward to seeing how it goes!

      Down 33 lbs and slightly stalled, but I'm gonna reevaluate and push through. I started back to work last week after 2 years of being disabled due to mental health as well as my weight. It's a great job and I'm just so happy to have this opportunity at a second chance at life. Hope everyone is having their best journey ❤️ Together, we got this!
