SLOW WEIGHT LOSS WHAT AM I DOING WRONG



Recommended Posts

On surgery day 9/16 I weighed 264 and today 3 weeks later I weigh 257 which means I have only lost a total od 7lbs post op in 3 weeks. I consider 7 for 3 weeks to be slow. I figured that I might be at a stall because I have been at 257 for 2 weeks and I am worried what I am eatting might be too much. May be I am doing something wrong... How do you guys keep the momentum going? Is this normal? Will it ever come off?

It happened to me after 3 weeks, I freaked out it lasted 2 weeks, thought it was me, eating wrong, told to eat more calories drink more waterfall sorts of things. It broke on its own yours will too. I lost 30 pounds in 8 weeks and so will you. Don't worry I know it sucks.

If you did a preop diet that gets counted into your loss. Your body doesn't care if you lost a dozen pounds prior to surgery - all it knows is that you've lost weight in a short period of time.

      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?
