I didn't even realize I was in a stall...

I've been losing about a pound a week or so, and I figured that I was just out of the "initial rush."

But then, all of a sudden, I've lost 3 pounds per week for two weeks running. Without changing my diet or exercise habits or anything.

It's so utterly weird how the body will hold on to weight for as long as possible before finally letting go and burning up the fat!

Oh well, I'll enjoy the losses :thumbup: My next mini-goal is 250 pounds. Then, after that, my BIG goal is to reach a BMI of under 30, and finally be out of the "obese" category for good. But that will be a long way off!

Patience is a virtue. An insanely rare, hard-to-practice one, but still...

Way to go! I had quit weighing myself weekly because I was getting depressed and thought I should have lost more by now. Maybe this is going to be a big mistake, but it is what's working for me and keeping me more positive mentally about what I HAVE accomplished, not what I have NOT accomplished.

Good for you on the increased pounds lost. I have a very strong feeling that you are going to be way under that 250 benchmark very soon!

      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?
