A Litte Discouraged...



Recommended Posts

I'm with misdiva & longer life....ditch the scale for 6 days out of 7 or 29 days out of 30. If you look at any of my posts, I've had the same issue. I was sleeved at the end of last year and I've had days and days where the scale didn't move and times when it even went up -- and this while tracking at about 1,200/day plus exercising! But it IS true that your body is still doing a LOT of work healing. I have to keep reminding myself that even as I get my energy back bit by bit -- even enough to do a boot camp 3-4/times week now -- my insides are still healing.

And you know what reminds me of that? Unfortunately it's that "ouch" feeling when something hits my tummy that it's not quite ready for. Even with all the care in chewing and eating slowly, it's clear that my insides are not 100% yet!

But guess what -- 1 month out and I've lost 20 pounds! Now everyone is different. I cannot stress that enough. And I have been working my bootie off (literally ; ) at this boot camp. But I feel great that I am finally starting to see a payoff.

Just hang in there. Do what you need to do nutrition-wise. Move as much as you can. You WILL get there!!

I stayed the same weight for few days too, I find that when I drink 60oz of Water, plus the water in my meals I the scale always moves even if its .2 lbs.

      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?
