UUGG!  I need a set of scales. I didn't get to my friends house yesterday to borrow her scales. Mine SUCK bigtime. I got on this morning in my underwear (not a pretty image) and my dumb scales said 250. O.K. That's good. I got dressed and out of curiosity I stepped on again. Yep 255. Impossible. I got undressed and tried again. This time 254. Got dressed and tried again. 258. So I just kept turning the scales on and kept on trying. Each and every time I stepped on the scale it recorded a different weight. It's very upsetting to have  no idea what one weighs when something as important as surgery depends on what those bloddy scales say. UUGG! I know I have eaten nothing since last thursday so to be up in weight in near impossible but still there is a nagging fear there. I just need to know. Just my Thursday rant. Now on with the day ahead and onward to my first Slimfast. YUM (not)

Just remember my freak out on Monday because my scales had me up a pound, when I was in fact down 7 pounds from my last weigh in!! I didn't eat from the call until after I was weighed- just shakes. On Tuesday I eat nor drank anything before I was weighed!  My 7 pound drop is likely more like 5 pounds, but I will be back on shakes a week before my next weigh in.
Have you tried adding Benefiber or similar non calorie fiber to your shakes?  Perhaps you are full of ****!   LOL  Seriously, that would add to your weight and discomfort.
Warning- TMI- I was the opposite of constipated for the 24 hours before I was weighed, because I add Benefiber to my morning cereal and to the shakes. So if I was full of ****,  I am not at the moment!
Chin up, you can get through this. It is very hard, but you have waited too long to quit now. Try to go to bed early  every night, so you will have less hours in the day and will be well rested for surgery. If it helps, rant and vent away. I will pick up where you leave off next Tuesday.

Tooooo  Funnny Charline. I needed a real good laugh this morning. Hahaha. Yeah, I take 2 heaping teaspoons in the morning and 2 heaping teaspoonfuls in the evening of benefiber. So hopefully I'm not too full of >>>>>>>. 

You must be like me in that you worry about your weight. I obsess about mine. Ever since I've been going to Dr. Dornan's clinic, I'm on those scales almost daily. I go to him every 3 or 4 months and there is nothing like being chided by the dietitian that makes the trips unpleasant. Especially if you've gained weight. I think that's why I am so weight obsessed. 

You know we will both be O.K., weight wise anyway. Just the 2 or 3 week freak they all talk about. Charline, my dear, we will make it and look back at this in May and laugh at ourselves.

You are absolutely right.
Childing people does not help them, stay on a diet. You have to feel good about yourself and feel in control to diet. You can say the same thing with a hopeful, positive spin, and it will work much better.  I don't know about you. but I know where guilt sends me- straight to the cookie jar, beating myself up the whole way.  Well, I must go for my noon walk. I'll be back if I don't freeze!
