Back in Onderland...barely! LOL



Recommended Posts

199.8 this morning. LOL scales definitely aren't "flying" downward like I hear

with some new sleevers, but that's (mostly) ok. I think we all want to lose

weight as quickly as possible, even when it's not realistic.

If I weren't still trying to stick to full liquids/puree (essentially the same

thing with my docs office), I wouldn't feel like I had a sleeve at all. No

difficulty drinking, haven't had trouble with anything that I've tried, no

nausea, soreness, etc. I'm hungry, too, but I'm hoping that will change once I

start eating solids.

On the NSV side of things, my pants have definitely gotten looser! I worked

a big bike race yesterday and although it sucked to be in full police uniform

directing traffic for 12 hrs, it was nice to have loose pants while doing it. ;)

No complaints (so far and knock on wood!) about the sleeve!

I didn't weigh at home before going to MX, but I'm guessing I've lost 12-15 lbs since surgery (2 weeks ago). I've NEVER lost an average of 6 lbs in one week before and now, the scales will be going back in the closet! LOL I'll weigh again in 2 weeks, maybe a month, or, if I can stand it ;), 6 weeks. Until then, I'll try to make the best choices I can with soft foods (start those tomorrow) and keeping the calories down, but emotionally, I do better without those scale numbers.

      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?
