My scales go up and down all the time. I stall, I gain, I lose etc. Day 10 is super early, so don't even bother with weighing. You will be fine!

The best gauge for losing is the fit of your clothes. It they feel and look looser.....you're losing.

I can tell immediately if I have gained or lost by how my clothes fit. They are also my motivation. And when they fit correctly or become loose....my biggest satisfaction. ;)

Plus the added bonus......when they get loose....you get to go buy new clothes. :D

Pay no attention to the scale.

I had my surgery on 8/24/16. It was a very easy process for me. No pain, no issues and do glad I did it. I was a one half self pay (Had hernia thank goodness haha). My doctor, Brad Marker Dothan AL is the best. He told me not to weigh for the first 2 to 3 weeks and I haven't. He said my body was still get adjusted and it might disappoint me. Don't get my wrong I have had the urge to weigh but decided to listen to him. I think I will weigh at the end of the week. I know I have lost cause my clothes are baggy. I have worn things I have not worn in 2 years (pants) so that's exciting. I did weigh at his office a week out from surgery and had lost 5 pounds.

I have not really wanted much to eat. Only been hungry one time. Yay!!

Protein shakes are my go to.

Do not get discouraged. Just do what the doctor says. They know.

I don't even own a scale because I would be too obsessed with it. I know I am loosing because I went from 2xl tops to large and 2xl pants to xl pants. My over the shoulder boulder holders don't fit either.

I gained 5 lbs the week before my period. Then I took some Constipation relief pills two days before my period was due and I spent the entire afternoon running for the washroom and urinating. Next day, I was 5 pounds less.

4 days after the period, three pounds more came off.

Sorry if it's too much information..

      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.
