I actually started weighing myself after my first post op appointment with my surgeon, which was 10 days after surgery. I knew I would have gained weight from all the Iv's and stuff that I just waited.

As soon as I got home and every morning after that. Some people weigh once a week or only when the see the doctor... I weigh everyday ... It just works best for me.

I started 2 weeks after surgery. At first I was weighing myself every day or every couple days, but I don't want to get used to that and become obsessed with the scale, so now I only weigh myself on the weekend.

I had my surgery on a Thursday and weighed myself 2 Monday's after that Thursday. Now I weigh myself every week and keep a little graph of my weight loss. I have split up my graphs by the mini goald I set for myself. Like from my surgery (2/28) I wanted to lose a total of 40lbs by the end of April. So I made a chart that only went 40lbs out from the weight I was from surgery. I set another goal of 40lbs to lose by August...So my second chart goes up until August. Its nice to see progress on charts and stuff.

      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.
