Get the Renpho scale from Amazon. It's awesome! Best of luck to you!!
My scale arrived today, and it's really cool. Thanks again for the suggestion. If anyone is looking for a scale, this one is on sale AND has a $10 off coupon right now on Amazon. It cost me about $18.

One question... Is your Water % in what you'd consider a normal range for the amount you drink? Mine seems to hover around 27% which is low, but I drink SO. MUCH. WATER. Like yesterday I had over a gallon (I am still pre-op) throughout the day, and that is pretty typical. Wonder if it's because the surrounding air is so dry here (my indoor humidity gauge has ranged from 1 - yes, 1 - to 12%) I simply cannot choke down any more water LOL... Makes me concerned about hydration post-op. I'll be doing nothing but drinking all day.

My water is 51% and when I click on it it says that the normal range is 45-60. I don't know if there's a correlation to how much water we drink though? It says it's blood and lymph fluids, etc. I wish I had a better answer for you!

Right, that's why I'm surprised mine seems to be between 26-27% with the amount of Water I consume. Maybe I'll try for 2 gallons today 😳 and see what that does.

      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.
