I log my weight from my home scale. That is the weight I use for how much I have lost. Before a check in appt with my surgeon's office I always get back on my home scale once I am dressed and then compare it to my doc's scale weight. So far it has read me almost exactly 2lbs or 2.3lbs different so I chalk that up to my clothing and move on.

That's weird! My bariatric surgeon's is ALWAYS higher. I go see him Thursday and I hope I'm not disappointed! I know this didn't help, but I needed to vent on the subject! Sorry!

My bariatrics surgeons scale is 5 pounds higher. When I said I hate your scales the nurse told me yeah everybody says they are 5 pounds to high. I laughed and said you would think your scales being int he business they are in should be dead on. No one wants to go to their surgeon and weigh 5 pounds more than you should. Lol. What a downer. Now I weigh at home and I tell my doctors what I weigh. I am not weighing on 4 or 5 different scales.

The whole scale thing is extremely frustrating. I'm on day 10 of the liquid pre-op diet and every scale I get on gives me a different number. I do a final weigh in on Friday before surgery and I hope I have lost more than 10 lbs, according to my doctor's scale. The gym scale, the doctor's scale and my home digital scale all differ by 4 to 5 lbs. I don't know which one gives an accurate reading. :(

I always use my home scale to judge and log my weight. Mostly because i weigh right after my morning "business" and shower but before i eat. I'm always lighter on it.

      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.
