i know i know everyones body is different but i guess i am just impatient. I am 13 days post op and have tried not to weigh myself in fear of becoming this way...i feel like im hungrier more and it seems like im eating more since i have to eat throughout the day...i dunno...im 13 pounds down but im sure the all yogurt diet and being on all liquids has helped that..i dont know guys im so scared this isnt going to work..help i need some reassurance!

13 pounds is amazing! A pound a day!!! That is the rate I am about running...17 days post-op and I am 20 pounds down!!

You should calorie count - even if it is just for one day - and you will realize we are "eating" barely anything. I drink like 4 double skim milks a day (8 oz skim milk + 1/3 cup nonfat dry milk = 160 calories x 4 times daily = 640). Sometimes I add a small 5-8 oz yogurt in. Clearly that is so much less than we used to eat. And even as we are allowed to add more solids in, it is minimal and again, way less than what we used to nosh on before!

You will be fine! We will be fine!

I am almost 4 months out and down 50lbs! Trust me you will see it when you least expect it.

I know the weight is falling off however I still see the fat me in the mirror. Gonna take my brain time to catch up!

Some days are worse than others. Some days I graze and others I dont even want to eat.

I wish you the best!!

I posted a few weeks back about my numbers in a picture. Maybe you can search my profile and find the post.

      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?
