I stop and pee 20 times on the way to my surgeon and I don't drink for several hours before. I do NOT recommend this!!! I just can't seem to help myself. I so hope to be able to just go and weigh and not get all OCD about this stuff some day!!!!

I think everyone shares your pain - sorta. My doctor's scale is consistently six pounds over my early am weight at home. But when you think about it - so what? It's not the number that counts, it's the direction it's moving in and how far it's moving that counts. Heck, I don't even take my shoes off! Why bother? As long as you either NEVER take your shoes off, or you ALWAYS take your shoes off, the scale (home or doctor's office) will reflect the CHANGE in your weight from the last time you weighed. My log shows that I've lost 130 lbs. My doctor's chart shows that I've lost 130 lbs. The fact that my log shows that I weigh 155 and her chart shows that I weigh 161 - totally irrelevant!

You're gonna love the new you!!

I guess it matters to me now because I'm trying to get my second appointment. After the surgery as long as I hit my goal I don't think I'm really going to care about the scale. At home I'm 3 pounds away from my goal(naked and first thing in the morning lol) but at then doctors I'm still 10 pounds out. I was hoping to hit my goal Friday but I don't think I'm going to hit it. Maybe next Friday. I'm just ready to start my new life. Ready to get this show on the road!!

Got it. And that makes sense. So, whatever weight goal your doctor gives you, subtract six pounds (assuming that's the difference you see between your scale and theirs) and that's your home scale goal. No more "surprises"!

Yeah basically. I'm thinking about carrying my scale in there just so they can see it. But. Then again they will probably want their scales weight since that's they one I started on. Uggh just so annoyed already!! Ready to get things moving. I feel like I'm at the starting line and I'm stuck here.

I did the same thing pre op. All my appointments were in the afternoon so I wouldnt eat or drink beforehand just to make sure I was down in weight. Not a good practice for sure! Now I dont worry. If the weight comes off slowly thats ok. At least its coming off!

        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!

      Hi everyone! I’m brand new here. I just went through all my pre-op requirements per my insurance company and now everything has been submitted and I’m just waiting for final approval and my surgery date. I’ve been doing research, watching YouTube videos, TikTok’s, ect.. trying to prepare my mind and what to expect so I’ll be ready for the surgery. I was so sure and so set and so ready and excited. However, now that I’ve done everything & it’s almost here, I am sooooooo scared! I know why I want it bc I’ve tried everything and I just don’t feel like I can lose weight by myself. I’m tired of being overweight my entire life. I’m miserable, but I keep psyching myself out afraid of GERD bc I know how that can be and I don’t want to have to get a bypass after already gaining the courage to even get VSG. I’m scared of complications like I’mgoing to regret doing it and be depressed that I didn’t just be more disciplined and try again to lose the weight on my own even sitting here typing this knowing in my mind i just can’t and don’t possess the discipline. I’m also afraid I won’t be able to handle the restrictions of the sleeve. What do I eat? I don’t know how to eat healthy really and don’t enjoy healthy food. I don’t know how to do this! I feel so defeated!Someone tell me they felt anything similar to this or am I not ready? I thought I was. I am so tired of being sick and tired and so tired of myself and so tired of being stuck and stuck in this body and somebody different on the outside from what I feel inside. I just want to ball up and cry.

        Am feeling this right now. My surgery date is 4/1. Sign the consent tomorrow. I feel like I overloaded myself with too much info, too many opinions. Got to the point where I was wondering if I should do this. Then I thought of my reasons for taking this step and that settled my nerves. Still get moments of doubt but am striving forward. Am just going to follow my book from the surgeon. Joined this because I was told by my dietician that I should do this for support
