So 21 days on preop diet and 30 days since being sleeved and I have lost 70 lbs. Averaging about 1.5 lbs a day so far. The turtle is still going!

1.5 a day is awesome! Do share your secrets if you can sustain this loss rate after 2 months. I starting hitting quite a few stalls in the last month. I am not certain, but I think it is because I hit my BMR boundary and need to push through it with some new exercise. I already eat low calories (between 700-900) and don't cheat, ever. Cheat may be too strong of a word, but I am trying to follow my NUT plan as much as possible.

That is one reason, my BMR has been drastically changed. When someone who is at such a high weight with a high BMR then starts eating like a normal person. Bam! Basic science and the weight has to come off. I walk everyday about 30 mins and of course 5 meals a day. I hope to keep this rate up for another couple months but do expect to slow as the weight comes off and my BMR drops.

      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?
