I do not understand I am seven weeks out and for the past three weeks I have not lost anything. I am exercising three times a week. Eating about 500-750 calories a day and have not lost anything. I am so frustrated idk what I am doing wrong.

Go get a tshirt snug enough to be too tight but not impossible to put on or pop the seams and "stretch" it - get a pair of jogging shorts or similar just the same, and try them on.

Now fold the up neatly, and put them away for two weeks.

Eat well, protiens first. Do not "goo" your food and avoid the carbs that are in fatty and processed foods. Take a multi Vitamin and a b Vitamin. Smile alot, because you got this!

sleep - go to sleep the same time each night, and wake up the same time each morning. If you cannot sleep now it the time to address it because sleep is a major factor in many stalls, or at least that is what ALOT of reports are pointing to (yahoo or google "sleep, weight loss - etc).

Now, a crazy thing is going to happen if you are drinking all your Water, taking your Vitamins, making you choices count nuritionally speaking - you are going to shrink...even if tat scale moves no at all, or goes slowly, you weight is going to come off. We retain much more than fat, and a complex amount of things go into how our bodies handle this, but you will get smaller. I dropped a whole size once, with 4lbs total loss. 2 weeks later I dropped almost 10 lbs, but other than TOM Water bloat and loss, I had nothing signifignt happen size-wise.

Now, try on that tshirt and pants....ah-ha!

You will lose. I promise.

      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.
