Getting frustrated with the scale!



Recommended Posts

My nut just told

Me the other day I should be trying to get 1000 calories a day and the days I work out to add at least 200 more calories! Eating so little

And exercise will make out bodies think there starving and hold onto everything we eat! I did that and lost 3 lbs yesterday! Good luck girl!

I think 3-5 pounds a week is on the high end. My doc says expect 1-2 pounds/week, and that's on the low end. I'm averaging about 10piubds a month (is all), and I'm ok with that. Just keep at it and you'll lose what you need to. It just takes time.

Btw it looks like you're averaging 15 pounds/month. That's awesome!

Gmanbat I appreciated ur post as I too have been finding myself impatient. My surgery was on 4/4/13 starting weight was 270 currently 222. So almost 50 lbs down still not seeing a huge transformation like I've seen on here tho and I find I guestion myself I needed to be reminded that my body has its own timeline. I do a minimal amt of strength training and walking on treadmill. Gradually increasing as I can. (Stupid knees) I need to remember that I've never been able to lose more than 20 lbs previously Soooo I am doing ok.

      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?
