I was doing so good until a couple of weeks ago.

I fell and broke my ankle and had to have surgery and a plate put in my ankle.

Now I am off my foot for at least 8 more weeks. There goes my walking. Granted I never was into ex cerise but I was really being good about walking. Now that is totally out.

I have not been able to get on a scale for a couple of weeks, plus all this stuff on my foot and leg I would weigh more anyway.

I feel like I am eating right and not much at all but sitting all this time I feel like everything is going straight to my butt.

Well I guess I will find out tomorrow. I go for my 6 week follow up with Dr. Nick.

Unfortunately life doesn't stop just because we have wls hun. Accidents happen and sometimes you have to get over one thing before you can concentrate on another.

Rest your ankle and you will, hopefully be able to start walking again before too long. xx

Shy Lady: I know it has to be hard with the broken ankle but I looked at your stats....you are doing incredibly well....relax, maybe it will be a little slower than you would like, let yourself heal, give yourself permission to watch tv, read a book, don't worry about the exercise....you will get better, you will be fantastic. Good luck.

You are doing great and I bet you will lose while you are off of your feet. I severed a tendon a year ago (before my sleeve) and my weight dropped unexpectedly. I believe you will be pleasantly surprised. If not...hey you will lose this weight, step by step is what I tell myself every day.

Make sure you hang in there with your Protein so you can heal quickly. It'll be okay. Good luck to 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.
