Totally normal. I would stay the same # for 3 days and drop same # then drop. Your body could be in shock it will drop again... No worries! Keep doing what your doing:)

Surgery date 7/25/12

Ive been losing every four days or so..I don't lose for days and then lose five pounds like magic. I'm trying not to get obsessed. I was bummed...lost 27 lbs since surgery and then I realized that's a pound a day! I lived and died by the scale for so long I'm just not going to do it anymore.

I noticed that I would lose inches yet the scale would stay the same. Then all of a sudden I dropped anywhere from 2-5 lbs. So my scale is either my watch slipping over my hand or my rings slip off the finger so I have to take a link or two out of my band and put my rings up or have them resized. I also yo-yo my food intake. Once I stall I either increase my intake or decease my intake to make the metabolism to kick into gear, since it is the one that actually stalled. Also increase excerise some additional minutes.

      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?
