Yesterday my weight was 193

Today I am 192.3

My scale said.... +1.2 lbs

Sorry boo but I'm my world that's a Loss!!

Anyone else need to check their scales "math?"

One has to wonder what your scale has been doing - up too late carousing with the toaster and the food processor? (you know what bad influences they can be!)

Lol you think I would be a better "scale parent" and know who my scale is hanging out with!

At this point I think summer school might be inevitable [emoji1]

I agree that bmi can often be just a guideline and not the Mecca some believe it to be . As long as you are healthy and happy with your weight loss, consider yourself lucky.

Those scales cannot be right !!

I ( I only weighed at the doctors office and was pleased as time went on.)

Still pleased 9 years later....

Feel successful with weight loss instead of that yo-yo

Problem I had for years!

Good luck and please keep posting. Lots of us care and want success for others!

      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.
