5 Weeks Tomorrow and the scale finally moved in right direction



Recommended Posts

So I will be 5 weeks tomorrow, fill is scheduled for next wedensday. But had a small victory today and the scale finally moved in the right direction. Have been messing around with the same 2 lbs for the last 3 weeks.

I think I have been losing inches because my clothes are alot loser and people are starting to comment at work. And I passed the 220 mark, was down to 219.2 this morning. I have kicked up my walking and pace and I think that is helping. Starting after next week, I want to start Zumba and I am very excited about that because it looks so fun.

My goals for right now are to start getting mentally prepared to be a bandster with a fill. I still strugle with drinking while eating (getting a little better) Also I think I am eating to fast, because I tend to get a stuck feeling eating certain things and I am really scared to do that next week with my first fill.

Anyway, just wanted to check in with small little victory. Hehe, funny I am excited about a two pounds. But I will take what I can get. And I feel really good. I dont know if it is the band and the small amount of weight so far or that I have cut out soda, but which ever it is I feel really good.

:D Hope all is well with all the other April 2011 bandsters

2 pounds is something to celebrate! Good job. You are doing great. You seem to be preparing in your mind for when you have restriction, I think that is really good.

      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?
