Feeling In Denial ?!?!?



Recommended Posts

Susie, I feel the same way when I read about people saying they lost 25-35 lbs in a month. I have been on liquids for 5 weeks now and am down 17 lbs. I feel like it should be twice that gone but my body works differently. I have been a little sad and want to ask why this is not working. I know that it is, I know that I cannot stay at this weight and eat the amount of food we can eat. Being diabetic makes it tougher to lose the weight too. I started out at 227, so I know I won't lose as fast as others that have more weight to lose.

You really are doing great, you will lose and get to your goal. Sometimes our bodies are just slower. I have only lost a few oz. In almost a week. I don't like it, but I know that once it is gone, I will never see that number on the scale again. Be positive sweetie. If you ever need to talk, you have my number.

      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?
