3 Months Post Op - Slowed Weight Loss



Recommended Posts

Hi,

I'm 3 months post op and have lost a total of 60 pounds, (9 were from the 1 week pre-op liquid diet). I'm wondering if its normal that my weightloss has slowed down so much. I lost about 50 pounds in the first 2 months and have only lost 10 pounds in the last month. I am worried that it will continue to slow. My start weight was 340 and i'm at 280 now, which is great, but i'm worried it'll continue to slow down and I will not continue to lose. I'm starting to recognize between hunger and head hunger and am trying to make healthier choices, but sometimes I stumble. I struggle with recognizing when I'm full and not feeling guilty if anything is left on my plate. Will this get easier? I don't want to stretch my sleeve and am worried I am eating more than I should. Right now, I can eat about 1 egg with about 3/4 piece of toast for Breakfast, about 1 cup of salad with 2 oz of chicken for lunch. Is this typical or am I eating too much?

thanks,

Johanna

      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?
