Just making sure first few days of weight loss is NORMAL...?



Recommended Posts

Hey Everyone,

So I am sleeved and officially a "Loser". I was sleeved this Monday July 8th, 2013.

Everything has been going well, but my weightloss seems so, I dint know drastic. I just wanted to make sure it sounds normal to you vets. All these weights are on my scale at home.

7/8 Day of surgery- 271.4

7/10 Home - 274.8

7/11 - 271.4

7/12 - 267.6

7/13 - 264.2

I mean wow... I expected it to come off fast in the beginning and slow down but this just seems super fast. I have been doing well with getting most of my fluids and my Protein, and I'm setting goals each day to get closer to my targets of 64oz h2o & 70g of protein. Right now I would say I am eating about 3x per day - 3 to 3.5oz per meal. 10+g of protein per meal and another 20g protein from whey shake. About 40oz h2o. All my vitals are normal. Im voiding normally and having BM's. So... is this normal weight loss in the beginning? Thanks for any info you guys may have.

      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?
