Hello Everyone!

I've been a member for quite a while but this is my 1st post. Today is makes 1 week post-op for me :) hooray!!!

I look forward to getting to know you through these chats. I am 1 week post-op and have lost 8 pounds but I lost this within he first 4 days and have not lost since? Is that normal? I am still on full liquids and can only walk a little bit as I am still recovering. I've read some of your stories and successes and I am so looking forward to being another success.

Thank you all for sharing your experiences.

Cristela

Congrats on your new tummy. My advice would be to stop weighing yourself daily. I only weigh once a week (I'm five weeks out). I'm down 30lbs so far but in the last two weeks only 3 pounds each week. Just starting to be able to tolerate "normal" food and working out a lil bit. It will all come with time. Just do the things you're supposed to and enjoy your new life. :-)

Thanks! I'm feeling some love now. I will try 1 time a week, otherwise I will drive myself crazy. Thanks!

Hi, I'm one week out today and lost 8 lbs. I weighed myself everyday and was making myself crazy. I even got up in the middle if the night and jumped on the scale! I'm going to TRY to only do it weekly from now on.

I know! it's so hard not to. You want to step on and have pounds magically disappear and when that doesn't happen, you start filling your mind with negativity and self-doubt. Let's make a vow to only weigh 1 time a week.

Do not weigh every day! I am 8 months out and am obsessed with the scale! It defines my mood for the day and it sucks! I try not to do it all the time but I can't stop! Many people on this site only weigh once a month and if you can do it I would recommend it. I don't have the willpower to pull off a monthly weigh-in.

I weigh myself daily, but for some reason it doesn't bother me what the scale says. I can tell other ways I am losing & go by that more than the scale. ;-)

Ur absolutely right... r u still on full liquids?

Yes! 2 weeks of full liquids is what the Dr told me and then will go on mushy/soft foods. I can't say I am looking forward to that. Something about pureed foods just is not appetizing to me. What about you?

      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?
