There are a lot of things to consider when you ask why? You have to remember your body is in the healing stage and needs and that can take time. Are you getting out and exercising? How much Water are you drinking? How much Protein are you getting? How many calories are you getting in a day? Your tom will also effect weight loss. I could go on but I am sure you get the idea. Don't be hard on yourself it will happentongue.gif

You body is still healing. Its a fact that most people dont lose much in the healing stage. Its yur body being protective of the fat. However make sure you are following your Dr orders to the letter.

I have eaten (or drank) no more than 1000 -1100 calories of the "proper food groups" for the past 11 months. I write down everything that goes in my mouth. Even during the plateaus I still did the same thing... and the weight will come off eventually.

I haven't been banded yet, but I can say what has help me throught my 6 month diet is writing everything down that I eat and how many calories it is. I hold myself accountable for everything that goes in my mouth good or bad, I measure everything out before I eat it. Before I started doing that I wasn't losing very much, once I started writing it down I could tell a huge difference in the scale. Just an idea for you. :)

      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.
