Feb.23rd Peeps!!! Well Feb. Period...



Recommended Posts

I'm just plain stuck--that scale does not want to give me anything. I added 50% more cardio and 100% more repitions for toning. Hopefully the extra 45 minutes of exercise will help. I really wanted to be in the "220"s" when I go for my next fill on Wednesday, but that is not looking promising! I was kind of hoping to be in "Onederland" by July, but I am not quite as hopeful anymore! I guess a plateau after 55 pounds isn't bad, but it is maddening.

patsal, 55# is terrific! I do know how you feel though. When I was stuck for weeks I started thinking this wasn't going to work. I guess our bodies are just finicky. Any day now yours will decide to let go of some more pounds! :)

I was banded on 2/22 and have lost 25 pounds as of yesterday. I think you all are doing great! I've got 5cc in a 10cc band and I've got another fill scheduled for Wednesday. I'm really hoping for some restriction!

It's so nice to hear about what other Feb bandsters are doing. I was banded on 2/15 and have lost 30#. It is SLOW. And it seems that I won't lose any weight for a couple of weeks and then I will suddenly lose 4 or 5lbs and then gain a pound or two back. It's a yo-yo for sure. I have only had one fill. I have a 10cc band with 2cc's in it now. I will get to have another 1.5cc added this Friday. I am living with NO restriction what so ever. It's HARD! I want that sweet spot! You all are doing a GREAT job!!!! :scared2:

      Just been waiting until time for my consult with my bariatric surgeon. It's scheduled for Jan 9th. Turns out I won't actually be seeing him. Apparently it'll be with his P.A.             Not sure what to expect. I thought this is where the surgeon would discuss the best surgery option for me. For years I had my heart set on the sleeve, but I've read so many people have issues with reflux - even if they've never had it before - that they've had to be revised to the bypass. I already deal with GERD & take 40 mg of Omeprazole daily, so I started studying about bypass and honestly, it seems like it might be the better choice for me. How can we discuss surgery options if the surgeon is not there?
      What happened at your first consult? Trying to get an idea of what to expect, or maybe I should say, what NOT to expect.

      I would like to know what questions you wish you had asked prior to your duodenal switch surgery?
