Scale Bounce

Yeah, I don't want to make it difficult for them to find my veins.  I am hard to stick as it is!  I stayed away from salt today.  I drank like a fish so hopefully this is coming off.

If yelling at the fat on my body would have helped, I'd weigh 99 pounds!!  lol  You cracked me up!  I know, this is serious and here I am making jokes.  The girls have given you tons of great advice.  On the morning of weigh in I didn't let one ounce of anything enter my body...lol!!!!  I had an 8 or 9 am appt though so it was do-able...10:30....not so much.  Don't drink a lot the night before weigh in and don't vigorously/excessively exercise the evening before weigh in.  I am one of those people who has been known to do nothing physically for 6 months and then decide to walk for an hour on the treadmill at the highest speed I could tolerate.  Once when I did this I noticed my legs swelled the next morning to the point I almost had no ankles!!  I spent the morning on my back with my feet up and I spent the afternoon and evening running to the bathroom.  I don't know medically what happened but my layman's theory is that my excessive exercise caused the fluid to spill over and it took a long time for my body to then get it out!  It sounds crazy but it really happened.  My hubby and I joked that we should have went to the initial consultation with rocks in our pockets!!!!!  Why didn't we think of that sooner!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!  I know you'll make it!!!

Rocks in your pockets!!!  That is a fantastic idea!!!!  We also joked that I should have water logged like they did on biggest loser, you know drank a few lbs worth of water and weighed.  Of course I would have been squirming through the whole consultation trying to hold it.  The rock idea, that has merit!!

You will be fine.  2 pounds is a BM sometimes!!  I don't really think they will cancel over 2 pounds either anyway.  Just continue to do what you're doing and maybe don't drink the water on the pre-op day until after your appointment.  Debbie

The scale bounced right back in place this morning!  308.8!  yeah baby!  Now I just need it to stay there.

Told ya those two lbs would be gone this morning!!! YEAH!!

I knew you'd do it and you still have a few days so you'll be below.  I had my pre-op on a Monday and was a coupl of pounds away and then my surgery was on Wednesday.  They didn't even weigh me when I got there before surgery!!!  I was surprised....Debbie

I don't know if this helps, but Dr. B wanted me to lose 30 pounds before surgery, at preop I had lost 27 1/2 and had only lost 1 more pound by surgery time, he did it anyway. I wouldn't cancel, just stick to liquids and you should be fine. Keep the faith and stay away from the scales
