The lowest of course =)

Seriously though, what you are tracking is a pattern over time. Minor differences won't make or break you. Stand on it once, once a week and you're good to go.

i am one of THOSE that does weigh every morning :huh:

i step on the scale, don't look down (as to accidentally move the scale)

count to 10, then 10 again

look down - thats the #

no need to weigh again, even if you don't like that # ;)

keep up the good work :)

28 lbs down!!!

I weigh myself twice to double check - not sure exactly why. If I get different numbers I do it again until I get 2 that are the same. We have a twitchy scale too. Most of the time it's fine but once in a while ...

Lol, I have one scale that weighs exactly the same each time I step on it and one that likes to bounce around a few ounces. The way I stopped driving myself crazy on the twitchy scale was to only weigh myself once and whatever the first number was is the one I keep for the day.

I like that because if the first reading was right than that would mean that I have lost a total of 20 pds post op....I was sleeved July 1st

      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.
