?JT?: Does anybody else here have a digital scale? And if you do, is it indicative that the battery is going bad if you get on the freakin thing three times and get three different weights within minutes of each other? :huh2:

Is the weight going up or down? Up - the batteries are going; down - nope, it is real!

:huh2::lol: I recently went through this with my digital scale. I was ok with it as long as the weight change was in my favor. When it started going up, I changed the batteries fast!

Also Beth, do you have it on a flat surface? If it is on carpet, it won't take an accurate reading.

good point - we have to put ours on the wood floors vs tile. the tile is grooved (slate) with uneven bumps.

Hehe, I like that.

This morning it went up 1 pound; then down 3.5 pounds; then up 2.5 pounds from the low... all just this morning.

I never weigh myself over and over in a day -- I usually just do it once. But I guess I wanted to double-check because I was like wth about it going up. It's really weird.

I don't recall the last time I replaced the battery, but as we all know, the scale is only being used for a few seconds each time it's used.

Yes, it's on the tile floor in the bathroom.

Ah, Lulu, just read your reply. Hmmm... good thought.

And update on the job situation: was offered, and subsequently turned down, the position that would require me to move 1500 miles (some of them north); still awaiting word on the work-from-home-50% of the time job. The interview for it was BRUTAL...and I'm someone who usually loves interviews (a wonderful opportunity to think on your feet, and demonstrate your communication skills first hand).

Best wishes on that!

no go on the dog; my neighbor actually rescued her so i'll actually get to see her regularly. i knew should would swoop in when we didn't make a fast decision. she just lost her yorkie to coyotes last month.

Well sad you didn't get the doggie, but hey seeing him everyday or almost is good too! You can pet him and love him, and give him back!

Oh man just don't let short hair on a dog fool you. I didn't think mine would shed like he does since its so short.... BULL! He sheds everywhere and it's so freaking hard to get off of things.

He is SOOOOOOO worth it though :eek:

CUTE!!

Oh I love stepping on my scale on the carpet. I'm always about 135... hehe

Good luck with that!

Why do I have to read the other replies to realize that I missed something. I don't know how I miss entire posts.

PJTP - DH (really not the "H" part, but we mostly are...) and I just got our first joint banking account.

I'm a bit nervous. Not that I don't trust him, but it's just DIFFERENT. (I don't know why I'm nervous...we opened it with HIS money...ha ha...SUCKER.)

LOL...yeah, I was talking about this at work, and it hit me that I have a savings account I'd forgotten about. I'm sure no one would even know about it if I died, so I need to put that info somewhere. It's not much in it...just a little bit each paycheck goes in it. Even I'd forgotten it.

      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.
