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!

      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.
