Tomorrow is my 6th month weigh in. I was told to lose 5 pounds in which I lost 7.2 ok so here is my dilema my appointment is at 1:30 and my weight loss is all from morning weigh ins. By 1:30 whether I have eaten or not or just drinking liquids I am always 3-4 pounds heavier which shows no weight loss. What can I do? My doc is an hour away so it's not like I can run in real quick and get weighed, and come back later

I was in the same dillema. Go to your weigh in tomorrow and explain that you met your goal this morning, but with Water weight it no longer shows it. I did that and they let me do a last weigh in the day of my pre op appt. No guarantees, but it worked for me.

Lay the morning paper (date showing) on the floor next to the scale tomorrow morning when you weigh. Then take a picture of the scale, feet, newspaper and all. Proof positive if you really have to go that far! LOL!

Yes, I left that part out. I did take a picture of the scale, though I didn't think to take it with the newspaper. That is a good idea!

      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.
