It could have to do with the time of day you are being weighed. You may not find one that is exactly with your doctor's scale. If you weigh yourself at the same time ( I do mornings) then your scale will accurately show your loss.

Did he weigh you on HIS scale the morning of your surgery? Probably not, you were at the hospital, but you probably did at home. Don't worry about the differences you are seeing, but if it REALLY bothers you, then the next time you go to him, as soon as you leave, go to the store and buy several scales and weigh when you get home. Don't use the bathroom and see which one gets you closest to the doctor's scale. Then, return the others. To me, though, I just wouldn't worry about it. You know you are doing well, and that is all that matters.:cursing:

I don't count what the doctors scale says - only mine at home because by the time I see the doctor, I've already had a meal or 2 plus I'm fully clothed.

      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.
