Sleeved on December 21st



Recommended Posts

Ok so i was sleeved on the 21st and i was losing good and now the scale has gone up???

I started at 242 then it went to 227 now back up to 232 what gives?

Does getting our reccomended Protein really help with weight loss? I know im not getting enough maybe i should start back on the basics im doing purees now i guess i just need some advice.

Help!!

I was also sleeved on Dec 21st. Per my doc's schedule I don't get to purees and soft foods until next week. I did see a small bump up last week. Discovered that I wasn't 'eliminating waste'. I had to get some colace to take care of that and then I saw it go back down. There may have been an adjustment from Clear liquids to full liquids to purees as well.

You know it isn't fat, so track back and make sure you've hit your liquid and Protein goals, you're 'going' at a reasonable clip-- not every day but every few days- and that you're not eating foods high in carbs, fats, or sugars. I know people like to think they can eat anything they want, but we really do have to watch certain things. Well some of us do!

I do see better loss when I hit my Protein goal.

      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?
