Facility deducting 2 pounds for clothing??



Recommended Posts

I am right there on the border of 40 bmi. The place where I just went has said that they deduct 2 lbs for clothing when you weigh in. This would bring my BMI to 39.8 (no comorbidities) and I am wondering if anyone ever heard of this???? Is this typical/normal??

Call up and tell them you werent feeling well this morning, and you didnt have anything to eat or drink today or last night and that you dont think that weight accurately represents your true weight and you would like to weigh yourself again now that you ate and feel better. They SHOULD let you come back in and reweigh yourself.

Ive personally seen this occur before

Yes. I need to go in for the next two.months now, and see the NUT again. They want to submit when they can submit 3 months of consistent 40+BMI and a weigh in with the NUT that also shows 40+.
Ugh.

      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.
