How Much Weight Loss Can I Expect?



Recommended Posts

Amazing Vamp! You look terrific! Btw...how did you lose 20 lbs in one week? I'd love to know how to do that.

Thanks! I just started going back to the gym for 2 hours a day!

Hi Vamp! Would you mind sharing some info with me? What gym do you go to and do you have a personal trainer? I've been reluctant to join a gym. I'm fat, lazy, and sweat like a pig. I wouldn't be one of the "beautiful people" there. I know I need to exercise. I haven't done any at all since surgery on May 1. My arms and thighs are hideous so I'm going to have to do something. I hate to admit it but I have a beautiful treadmill and my own in ground pool. I guess I'm just too lazy to live.

Don't be so hard on yourself kmiller! You just need a bit of self motivation. Who cares what people think at the gym. Do it for yourself, you will see that in no time you will begin to see a more sexier you!

Kmiller ! You are very beautiful! That is those ugly negative thoughts that are creeping in! I have hired a personal trainer to come to my house after 6 weeks..my surgery was May 30th and I want to be sure my pouch is healed before I start stretching those muscles. I decided to hire the trainer as I wanted to get the most out of my surgery as possible. We have a gym we can use at my work but I need someone to push me in the strength training dept. I am getting out walking every day - I set times of the day for me to go then I just go. My suggestion is to find something that you like doing then it will be more enjoyable. I found that out two years ago that cycling was my fav! I got addicted very fast! And even started a biking group that met after work once a week. The gym can be very intimidating but I have found that most of the people that go are there for the same reason as me...to get healthy. Best of luck and don't let those nasty thoughts keep you from accomplishing your goals!

I go to American family fitness! I don't have a personal trainer but I enrolled in something called amfam u it's an 8 week training course then you graduate and get a certificate saying you graduated its pretty neat! I lift weights 3 days a week and do cardio the 2 days I don't! I have the attitude that I don't care what people think of me so I just go and say the hell with those beautiful people! You can do it!!

      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?
