Apparently the best time to weigh yourself is first thing in the morning after a wee.

My weight is always about 4llbs difference. It doesn't really matter though, just make sure you weigh at the same time of the day and you will be able to map your weight loss :D

Oh big time. Pre-op it could be 7-8 pounds. Now 2-3. My last baby I remember getting scolded one month for gaining 10 lbs in a month and then getting scolded the next month for "dieting" and losing 11--it was just afternoon vs morning appointments but no one believed me!

probably Water retention - may want to look at salt intake if you retain a lot. mine fluctuates 2-3 lbs. Ten pounds seems like a lot unless you are weighing in your birthday after your first trip to the bathroom and your other weigh-ins are fully dressed with shoes and after you have ate and drank Water.

Of course it does! Between eating, drinking, additional Water, clothing....you name it. That's why I only weigh first thing in the morning and disregard what the scale may say in the day. The difference can be huge sometimes!

Oh, and not to be gross, but I've weighed, gone poop, and weighed again after. It can be a half a pound difference sometimes! Lol...

Why weigh yourself 3 times a day? Yes your weight will fluctuate between waking up, noon and evening. Perfectly normal, everyone's weight does this. Your AM weight, especially after visiting the potty tends to be your lowest. Your body is coming off and 8 hour fast. By noon and evening, you've eaten and had liquids. Step back from the scale.< /p>

my weight goes up and down like 10lbs too. I just always get on the scale when I go to the bathroom. Its exciting to me! I love losing this weight and it still has not set in yet! I do notice when I get my full day of Water and Protein though it does not go up and down as much.

      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.
