Trouble With Consistency Of Intake - Any Advice



Recommended Posts

Hii,

Sleeved 4/18. I have only lost 12 pounds, but I was expecting slow weight loss. I am 38 yo, 5', SW:202, CW:190. I am ok getting in Protein and fluids, but I can't seem to get into a routine. Some days I can eat 3 oz at lunch and some days 1 oz. it is so hard to plan with such inconsistency. My surgeon told me that most people can eat more later in the day. Anyone else notice patterns?

I think it depends on how dense the food is meat seems to fill me up fast but say somethin the consistancy of refried Beans doesn't seem to stay in the pouch as long. My nut. told me to eat no more than 1/3C. each meal so I just measured everything that way most meals I still do i am 4months out. I am not sure I can hold more later in the day but I always want to eat more in the evening prob. from old habits!

      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?
