Three weeks out, help



Recommended Posts

I had surgery on January 8. I lost weight the first ten days but have plateaued for over two weeks. I even gained two lbs. I'm not sure what I'm doing wrong. Very frustrated. Any suggestions please

Yep - it's normal.

Here's a great article from Butterthebeans signature - it's worth the read.

Just follow your plan - get your mins in regarding Protein and fluids. Walk if you are able and approved.

I also suggest not weighing every day. Weigh in once per week - longer if you can stand it. My husband hides the scale from me and it comes out on Thursdays. That saved my sanity.

      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.
