can any one calm my fears??

    the last time i weight my self was at work on Friday. I have been eating less then 800 cal a day and not one pound has moved off my body in three days. I think i am just worked up about Dr. Todder not being happy with my weight loss and refusing to operate on me. That's my worst fear. The last weight Dr. Todder has on me is 336 and I gained two pounds after that. That brought my total weight up to 338 so I have lost 11 lbs in three weeks on the liquid diet but the DOC will see that i have only lost 9 lbs and iam afraid that's she isn't going to be happy with that number. 

I don't know your doctor, but I think as long as you are moving in the right direction, you should be fine!  Stress can make your body do weird things!  Try to relax!  I'm sure others who have had Dr Toder will chime in!  Just relax! You are doing great and you're almost there!!!!!!!!!!

thanks for your concern! I hope i am just being irrational

i THINK YOU ARE ENTITLED TO FEEL AS IRRATIONAL AS YOU WANT...FEAR CAN MOTIVATE YOU AS WELL, SO HANG IN THERE AND DO IT!!! sorry not yelling cap thingy on and i don't want to redo...you are feeling normal last minute nerves and I agree with Ruthie, the dr will see your progress and passion for doing the right thing...your body is gong..."hey, what the heck?" and is shutting down, it will come off...
hang in there.
much love coming your way.

I am very nervous also, surgery is tomorrow morning and I have been stressing out that I only lost 8 pounds on this pre-op diet. I am hoping that since it is a loss that it will be a good thing, this has been so hard. Today was really tough with liquids only. Good luck and speedy recovery on your surgery.

Good luck with your surgery tomorrow!  Keep us posted!

Iam glad Iam not the only one with that fear. The funny thing is that's my only fear!! I am so excited to be able to have the opportunity to change my life.

Sarah,
I was so worried before my surgery too, I felt like I hadn't lost enough weight and Dr. Toder was going to refuse to do my surgery.  At my initial consult with her, she very firmly told me I needed to looes a significant amount of weight before surgery...needless to say I didn't want to disappoint her but it was VERY difficult.  She congradulated me on my weight loss and was very kind and professional; I worried all that time for nothing!

Good luck on your surgery!

When I weighed in before surgery the nurse said I had done well and I only lost 8 pounds.  Dr. Wolff was happy with that loss and I had surgery as scheduled. 

I think you should be fine.  Dr. Toder called me a few days before surgery.  Maybe she will touch base with you also then you can tell her what you lost and she can put your mind at ease.  Good luck!
