I know this sounds like I am being really whiny but I cant help it. I really thought that I would be losing more weight than this. I was sleeved on 3/7 with a surgery weight of 233. I got down to 219 this past Friday. Today I am 222. I dont get it. I am hardly eating!! I dont know, maybe that is the reason? This is my routine--

I have a Chike shake for Breakfast.

Soup for lunch-maybe a cup. It is all I can hold.

A snack-pudding, yogurt, popcicle or something like that.

And then dinner-soup and a few crackers.

I stay under 500 calories everyday. I should be losing right??

I really try to drink Water or crystal lite as much as I can but I find it hard to drink Water all day long. Its like I get going with my day and forget. Then when I remember I only take a few sips. Then off I go again.

I dont know what is going on. I read stories of people here losing like a pound or two everyday. I am in my 3rd week and I have really only lost 10 pounds post surgery. WTF. I went through all of this and nothing is really happening.

Emotionally I am losing it. I keep crying at the drop of a hat. I feel emotionally I am all over the place!! Any sound advice??

I am not a nutritionist nor have I had the surgery yet... But my advice would be to really try to get in your water.. If you don't drink enough Water, your body will start to retain what little water you DO take in.. So drink lotsa water so you won't have any water weight gain ;)

      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?
