First time on the scales



Recommended Posts

I started the preop diet at 303 (cant call it a liquid diet because i didnt stick to the liquid diet - did more of a restricted calorie diet). I did it for a week and lost 6lbs before surgery. I went into surgery one week ago at 297 and weighed for the first time yesterday EVENING at 285. Thats 18lbs in about two weeks - 12 of it in 6 days. I was quite shocked! But stoked none the less!

You are doing great and have the right attitude about this.

Oh men. You boys lose so much more quickly and it causes women everywhere to pull out their hair!

Congrats on your loss! It's a big achievement in a short time. Enjoy this window where it all falls off; hopefully it will continue for you. Men tend to lose faster than women and they respond especially well to the low carb diet that you're almost assuredly on right now.

Enjoy the new sleeve, and stay positive!

      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.
