Scared to gain weight



Recommended Posts

So I guess I'm a little paranoid ..I'm a week an a half post up an lost 26lbs so far but I feel like since it happened so quickly I'm going to be at a stand still for a while an be extremely disappointed . I just started puree today an I'm so scared to eat in fear that I will gain rather than lose :( ..anyone else feel like this ?

Follow the protocol as closely to the letter as you possibly can and...relax. Living in fear is not realistic, not sustainable and most certainly not healthy. Sometimes you'll lose quickly. Sometimes slowly. Sometimes not at all. It's all part of the process. Just remember that your focus is always the same regardless of what your weight is doing - follow the protocol as closely to the letter as you possibly can. Second guessing yourself every time you move to the next stage or your weight loss changes is pointless to say nothing of emotionally exhausting. Stay positive. Stay patient. Stay focused. Allow your body to find its own way in its own time.

You're gonna love the new you!!

      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?
