Well this is a hit in the head. Lost 12# one week post op. Next 2 days, I have gained 1 1/2 #. Getting 90% of Water, 100% Protein, and about 500 calories what with skim milk and protein mix. Anyone else had this happen?

I'm a daily weigh-er (I know, bad, slap my hand) but I recently had a day where I gained a pound and then the next day I lost 2. I think it all evens out. With the number of calories we're taking in we're bound to loose weight.

Don't let it stress you out! Keep doing the right things and you will be fine!

I had this exact same thing happen to me this morning! I'm 30 days post-op today, and so far, I have lost weight every single day (except for the first couple of days after surgery.) All I've had for a month are Protein drinks, yogurt and a few pureed Soups - 800 calories max. So HOW did I gain 1.7 pounds this morning?????

Nobody can convince me that losing weight is as simple as calories in/calories out!

I fully expect to drop that 1.7 pounds in a day or two.......... but really, GAINING on 800 calories/day?

      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?
