Why do you need to lose it faster? You have come so far and that is amazing, but we need to remember we didn't put this weight on overnight. It is healthier to lose slower, especially now that the bulk (no pun intended! :P ) of your weight is gone. Just keep doing what you are doing and you will get there. Remember if you were doing this the "traditional" way of straight diet and exercise without the benefit of the sleeve, you would most likely be a lot further from your goal than you are now.

Enjoy your success! You'll get there!!

Thanks! I know ive come a long way I just get like this now and then. Im a little impatient. I try to set smaller goals for myself instead of big ones that I wont be able to reach, which seems to be working a little better. Its just crazy how 2 weeks can go ny and I wont lose anything and then I will lose 5 lbs the 3rd week. Just so weird to me. I like consistency! Lol

I know! My first week following surgery I was "only" down 2lbs. I would read these posts from people who lost something crazy like 20lbs and was "what the hell!" lol!

Seriously though, you are doing great! Don't sweat it. Well, on second thought, sweating is good! :D

      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?
