Three months and 51 pounds down



Recommended Posts

This is my three month update I was sleeved 12/26. I've only had one stall and I typically lose 4 - 5 pounds a week and I'm ok with that. I work out 5 times a week and try to work in a long walk at lunch each day.

I'm down 3 sizes in tops and slacks. People are starting to notice and that feels so good. I have lots of NSV's. I can bend over and tie my shoes now. I shop in "misses" and the styles are really pretty. I can go up TWO flights of stairs and not be winded. I'm not embarrassed to travel anymore because I fit in the airplane seats and don't need a seat belt extender.

I average around 800 calories a day. I can eat most anything but I stay away from breads, rice, Pasta and sweets I eat lots of chicken, fish and veggies. My "go to" meal is 1 scrambled egg with 2 ounces of sliced ham I have learned the hard way when I'm full and that means STOP eating!

I have had an easy journey. I read the forums every day and have gotten many helpful hints I learn from the vets like OTR, Cheri and fiddle man My heart breaks for those who are struggling and I cried when I heard the recent news of a death. I wouldn't change anything and love what my sleeve has allowed me to do. So thanks to everyone who takes the time to post. It really helps people like me. Good luck everyone

      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.
