Updating my surgery stats so that my weight is lower gives me a special kind of joy. Sometimes I log in just to do that. LOL!

I confess to having logged in just to update my stats. I don't understand the people who don't record their successes that way. You only know how great they're doing from reading their posts. Maybe they just aren't prideful types.

I do! Haha, I lost a pound this morning and one of the first things I did was update my weight on MyFitnessPal and then update my ticker here. 4 pounds to go until goal!

I'm glad for those that do! Sometimes I see a post and they've been post op for months but their stats show no weight loss! C'mon people! Get with the program! lol

I am one of those who doesn't update a weight ticker. Because I don't have a thyroid, my weight can fluctuate +\- 3 pounds from day to day. So If I see the same weight 3 days in a row, I know for sure that it is my true weight. By then I've forgotten to update my fitness pal or my stats here :)

Well I know for me I can't do it from my cell phone at all....or else I would've been filled in my info. I'm 10 days post-op and people are already telling me I look like like I'm losing weight. I refuse to get on a scale right now tho. ????

@@happymama2014 It's not as intuitive as one would think. But from the main site (not the phone app), up in the top right hand corner by your name is a little gear. Click on the gear. Then click on my surgery. Scroll down to where it says your current weight and put it in and save it, and it will update your stats.

      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.
