.. step on the scales when good ole Aunt Flo is visiting?? LOL .. never fails, I'm feeling great, then I get on the scales and my good mood goes right out the window.

Guess I'll learn one of these days.

I know what you mean. I have been feeling really good... down to a 1X shirt, and I was actually able to put on a pair of size 18s! woot, but then I went to the doc's yesterday and now feel worthless because their scale said I gained 3 pounds.

I cried all the way home. I hate the scale. hate it hate it hate it

I do the same thing! I tell myself don't step on it! But I do anyway. I actually threw my scale away a couple months ago, but now I think I might want to buy a new one because when I step on it and I put a couple pounds back it makes me want to exercise!

I am so glad I am not alone...She came saturday and it seems I can't get enough in me. I feel I am eating all the time..and with no fill it's even worse because it seems everything goes down with no problems. I felt really good and I had been doing really good until this week..it's killing me. Oh well I guess it's just nature and there is nothing I can do about it.

YaYYY, I'm not alone. I guess its true that misery loves company hehe.

Vinesqueen - I did that a few weeks back and freaked. Then the next visit, I'd lost 5kgs (about 10 lbs), so in the end, it settled itself out. Try not to stress about it. A size 18 is fantastic - bet you were dancing around the house when you got those on, huh? hehe

      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.
