So I get on the scale this morning. . .



Recommended Posts

and it says that I weigh 137.1. Woo hoo! I think, yes all my hard work is paying off. I have lost 20 lbs in 12 hours of sleep! It is about time I broke that plateau.:clap2:

Double checking is VERY important. So, I step off and back on again, only to discover that I have now lost another 137.1 lbs in the last 30 seconds. Checking myself to make sure I have not become the size of an ant, I have my hubby weigh himself, only to discover my big o' 6'5" man now only weighs 31 lbs!:heh:

Now, our lapbands have been great for weightloss, but not THAT great.

Anyway, changed the batteries and now the scale works. Apparently, it hadn't been weighing correctly for a while, how long? I don't know, but with new batteries, in the evening, fully clothed, I was at 151!

That is more believable and STILL amazing. I can't wait to get on in the morning and see the REAL weight!:faint:

ROFLOL....I think I have the twin to your scale! I get on it 3 times each morning and can gain up to 8 pounds within 10 seconds! Usually take the average of the 3 and call it good. I probably would have peed my pants with a weight loss like that, not usually awake enough when I way to have it "register" right away as not possible!

Oh, me either. It took me telling my hubby, I'm 137 and him saying NO WAY for me to realize it wasn't quite right. I think I focus more on that last number until the tens digit moves

      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.
