4-month surgiversary



Recommended Posts

Well today is my 4-month surgiversary and I've lost exactly 40 pounds. It was a slow start, and I've had my fair share of challenges and stalls, but I'm excited about my success. I've got 35 pounds to go to reach my goal of 165 pounds. I'd like to know how you're progressing.

congrats! just curious about your stalls and how often they happened. i'm a few days away from being 2 months out and I'm already in my 2nd stall. I had 1st stall after week 1 and it lasted for 3 or 4 weeks Idk cuz I quit weighing. when I did weigh I lost 10 pounds. Now I finally weighed 2 weeks later and lost nothing. So this has been my 2nd stall. It makes no sense.

I had my first stall at week 3 and it lasted 3 weeks. I'm just getting over my second 3-week stall. I've learned that when I stall, it's usually because I need to add more calories. I've recently started eating six times a day. I'm taking in about 900-1000 calories and getting in at least 75 grams of Protein.

I'm 3.5 months out and I've lost 51 pounds since surgery 10/2 and 61 pounds since my preop appt 9/23. I started pretty slow but my weight loss has been picking up as of late. I have to admit the 2 and 3 week stalls really test your mind and spirit. I just usually curse at the scale and wait it out! LOL!

I had my sleeve 9/17. It's nice to see how other at 4 months are doing. I seem to be a stair step looser. Loose, stall, loose, stall. It can be so frustrating.

      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?
