By "took", did you mean leave one in the bowl or pick one up and put it in your pocket?

The former would mean your scale's readings are fluctuating, the latter means you picked up a 1 pound poop and put it in your pocket.

I am betting on the former. :)

Your weight was probably right between two weights when you measure it. Any little thing can cause the reading to fluctuate. Such as wash your face with Water. Take a Vitamin. Or even the way you step up on the scale. Generally I use a scale that provides readings in 0.2 pound increments. It is repeatable. If it is not repeatable then get rid of it and get a better one. Also check your batteries if its electronic.

http://www.amazon.com/My-Weigh-XL-550-Talking-Bathroom/dp/B0014ZQH84 I've been using this one for over a year and it has always been extremely accurate. Plus, you can set it to tell you your weight out loud, which is fun. When it turns on and says "hello!" I said hi back to it. XD But yeah, very accurate, very durable.

Water retention? Especially after eating junk, I can add 5 lbs. when eating 1 lb. of crap.

      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.
