I stop and pee 20 times on the way to my surgeon and I don't drink for several hours before. I do NOT recommend this!!! I just can't seem to help myself. I so hope to be able to just go and weigh and not get all OCD about this stuff some day!!!!

I think everyone shares your pain - sorta. My doctor's scale is consistently six pounds over my early am weight at home. But when you think about it - so what? It's not the number that counts, it's the direction it's moving in and how far it's moving that counts. Heck, I don't even take my shoes off! Why bother? As long as you either NEVER take your shoes off, or you ALWAYS take your shoes off, the scale (home or doctor's office) will reflect the CHANGE in your weight from the last time you weighed. My log shows that I've lost 130 lbs. My doctor's chart shows that I've lost 130 lbs. The fact that my log shows that I weigh 155 and her chart shows that I weigh 161 - totally irrelevant!

You're gonna love the new you!!

I guess it matters to me now because I'm trying to get my second appointment. After the surgery as long as I hit my goal I don't think I'm really going to care about the scale. At home I'm 3 pounds away from my goal(naked and first thing in the morning lol) but at then doctors I'm still 10 pounds out. I was hoping to hit my goal Friday but I don't think I'm going to hit it. Maybe next Friday. I'm just ready to start my new life. Ready to get this show on the road!!

Got it. And that makes sense. So, whatever weight goal your doctor gives you, subtract six pounds (assuming that's the difference you see between your scale and theirs) and that's your home scale goal. No more "surprises"!

Yeah basically. I'm thinking about carrying my scale in there just so they can see it. But. Then again they will probably want their scales weight since that's they one I started on. Uggh just so annoyed already!! Ready to get things moving. I feel like I'm at the starting line and I'm stuck here.

I did the same thing pre op. All my appointments were in the afternoon so I wouldnt eat or drink beforehand just to make sure I was down in weight. Not a good practice for sure! Now I dont worry. If the weight comes off slowly thats ok. At least its coming off!

      On day 4 of the 2 week liquid pre-op diet. Surgery scheduled for June 11th.
      Soooo I am coming to a realization
      of something and I'm not sure what to do about it. For years the only thing I've enjoyed is eating. We rarely do anything or go anywhere and if we do it always includes food. Family comes over? Big family dinner! Go camping? Food! Take a short ride or trip? Food! Holiday? Food! Go out of town for a Dr appointment? Food! When we go to a new town we don't look for any attractions, we look for restaurants we haven't been to. Heck, I look forward to getting off work because that means it's almost supper time. Now that I'm drinking these pre-op shakes for breakfast, lunch, and supper I have nothing to look forward to.  And once I have surgery on June 11th it'll be more of the same shakes. Even after pureed stage, soft food stage, and finally regular food stage, it's going to be a drastic change for the rest of my life. I'm giving up the one thing that really brings me joy. Eating. How do you cope with that? What do you do to fill that void? Wow. Now I'm sad.

        Life as a big person had limited my life to what I knew I could manage to do each day. That was eat. I hadn't anything else to look forward to. So my eating choices were the best I could dream up. I planned the cooking in managable lots in my head and filled my day with and around it.

        Now I have a whole new big, bigger, biggest, best days ever. I am out there with those skinny people doing stuff i could never have dreamt of. Food is now an after thought. It doesn't consume my day. I still enjoy the good home cooked food but I eat smaller portions. I leave food on my plate when I am full. I can no longer hear my mother's voice saying eat it all up, ther are starving children in Africa who would want that!

        I still cook for family feasts, I love cooking. I still do holidays but I have changed from the All inclusive drinking and eating everything everyday kind to Self catering accommodation. This gives me the choice of cooking or eating out as I choose. I rarely drink anymore as I usually travel alone now and I feel I need to keep aware of my surroundings.

        I don't know at what point my life expanded, was it when I lost 100 pounds? Was it when I left my walking stick at home ? Was it when I said yes to an outing instead of finding an excuse to stay home ? i look back at my last five years and wonder how loosing weight has made such a difference. Be ready to amaze yourself.

        BTW, the liquid diet sucks, one more day and you are over the worst. You can do it.

      Three months and four days ago... I was in Costa Rica having a life changing surgery! Yesterday we had a followup visit with Dr. Esmeral via video chat and this morning my middle number changed.  I'm down 47lbs and two pants sizes. I can wear a Large tshirt for the first time in like... 14 years! Woot!! Everything is going great. I have zero regrets. I went down to the riverwalk with a friend and walked 2 miles on Monday without even getting fatigued. And no more snoring or chugging pickle juice for crazy leg cramps! I need to go to the gym more... I'm making new shirts next week so that will motivate me. LOL But I'm also just not as TIRED all the time! I have a LONG way to go...but seeing the progress on the scales and in the mirror is a huge motivator!! Thank you all for cheering me on and supporting me!!
