Monday is my final weigh in with my surgeon. I had to lose 40 lbs before he would schedule it. I went to weigh in once in the meantime. I weighed at home and drove the hr to his office to weigh. His scale was 5 lbs higher :(. I am pretty sure I've lost the weight. According to my scales, as of today I've lost 44. Any tips or tricks on what to do Monday to keep my weight as low as possible when I go to him at 2:30? Do I eat? Not eat all day? Drink a lot of Water? Avoid drinks? Wear jeans? Advice is welcome!

If it were me, today & tomorrow I would do a liquid diet of my Protein Drinks only. Have you been weighing in at Dr's office fully clothed? If you are just a few pounds off tomorrow at weigh in ask to be weighed in an exam gown. Take everything off, jewelry, bra & underpants. Best of luck to you.

Cut out salt too, it makes you retain Water. Stay hydrated, but try not to drink for an hour or two before the appointment.

Thanks for the tips! I never thought about asking to take my clothes off. I'm pretty sure 90% of us here weigh that way lol. I will for sure not eat any solids tomorrow. I had my last meal at 2 today. I might tank up on Water tonight and stray from drinking much of anything tomorrow. I'm nervous! Thanks for the advice again! I'll come back with an update.

      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.
