Time, the first few months we lose weight so fast that it's scary. It will slow down after a couple of months, but just stick to the plan. Get your Protein, Water and Vitamins in so that you lose fat and not muscle and start an exercise program as soon as you can. You're going to be thrilled with this ride! :)

hey time4menow - "changed the batteries in my scale, too funny" :lol:

I guess some people might change the batteries if they are NOT losing weight, but you changed the bateries cuz you are losing weight.

Oh well, thats ok too. And BTW maybe at first it is Water weight loss, but we'll take it any way we can :)

continue doing what you are doing

Even if you gained... you were given fluids in the hospital, you had trauma to your cells, ... I could go on... but I'll stop!! LOL

Congratulation!! And Celebrate your successes!!!

      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.
