Every time I got on the digital scale at my surgeon's office it was always 10-15 pounds heavier than my digital scale at home.

At my 1 month post-op I was 398 pounds on my home scale and the same day at the surgeon's office they insisted that I was 412!

They insisted their scale was right. Well, today I had my 3 month post-op appointment and I brought my digital scale from home.

My scale said I was 360. Their scale said I was 360. Then they told me they recently had their scales calibrated because they were inaccurate.

HA! I WAS RIGHT! I AM VINDICATED!!!!

I just wanted to post this and vent.

Thanks.

:P

My surgeon scale is always higher. I weigh myself at home in the morning without clothes. Your weight will fluctuate throughout the day. I don't care if it's more, just that I'm losing.

      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.
