I really prefer to eat clean less tummy issues but since i need my insurance to cover my surgery i need to weight at least 250 which i float in between 245 and 250 i was 252 when i weighed a couple weeks ago. weighed myself last night i was 249 what the heck i have been eating carbs like a crazy person. when i eat healthy the weight seems to not budge i feel better but weight stays the same. if i fall below 250 my BMI goes to 39 i have been stuck in my 240's for years i dont know what to do.

I'm with you, but maybe just have a few days of super salty stuff right before you have to weigh in. I don't know about you, but sodium makes me blow up like crazy! Recently gained 12 pounds in a week thanks to good old chinese food.

Have you weighed yet at your Dr's office to know how they operate? I've read where some docs are really lax, even letting you weigh in with a purse. Mine made me take my shoes and jacket off, and put purse down. Also be prepared for a BP check, and maybe even basic physical exam.
Fishing weights work well in a coin pocket. 4oz each, and it's possible to fit 4. Or so I've read.

      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.
