Weight loss and excercise



Recommended Posts

So my surgery date was May 28, 2013. My pre surgery weight was 254, my current weight is 213! I'm excited about the 41 pound weight loss but I don't see a difference and I'm always hungry!!!! I'm still on a restricted diet and just literally got released to exercise but I have no energy to do it!!! Just looking for help and or advice!!!

I had my surgery on May 7th and I started working out a few weeks ago. I tried going back about 2 weeks after surgery because I was cleared and boy was that a mistake. I had to wait a while before I was able to do anything....even walking would take it out of me. I started taking my Vitamins regularly and increased my Protein (Premier Protein from costco has 30gms each which is a good amount). I would say just try a little at a time each day and soon you will be doing everything you ever wanted. I never thought that I would be using the elliptical but I have. I do that 3 days a week with weight training. I also do Water aerobics twice a week. On the weekends I usually hike somewhere on Saturdays and leave Sundays for rest is I choose. Your energy will come back soon but remember you had major surgery and it takes time for our bodies to heal. I hope this helps :)

      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?
