I went in he said I'm gaining alot of.muscle so he wants me to only focus on cardio right now

So have you been measuring inches? Sounds like your body is changing even though you don't see pounds dropping. Focus on that. If you're working out, I'm sure your body is looking better too. Take weekly pictures of your body at different angles to see progress & keep track of measurements. I started doing that pre-op in case I had a similar issue. As a kid, the scale always said more than what I looked because I was very muscular. It's hard when our measurements are by scale.

Have you measured with an actual BMI pincher ? I think that will help you see your progress. Good Luck!

Hey girl muscle is good. Fat is bad. I get bloated I gain 3 inches in my belly. I stay away from the scale. I imagine if I gain 3 inches from swollen I must be 3/5 lbs heavier. You know what your best friend is your clothes. If your clothes are lose your good.

      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.
