Hello fellow sleevers,

March 5th will be my 5 month mark and I've lost 78 pounds so far. I've been the same weight for almost 3 weeks now and feeling VERY discouraged. I know it's normal. I know so many have gone through it.

Also, there are days were I'm just starving and can eat WAY more than normal days where I have hardly any interest in food/eating.

I know I will have to work hard to get these last 80 pounds off, but I feel I'm losing some momentum and can't afford to be in this place right now.

I just moved, am newly married, searching for a new doc and NUT here in NY and looking to change careers. So many changes at the same time as trying to adjust to my new life and tiny stomach.

I know I can do it, but feeling really down about it now.

I feel ya. I'm a month ahead if you. Some days my head says to eat "junk" so I slip a little. Some days I can eat fine, other days I can't. I don't have advice other than we are gonna get through it but I feel like you do

Again, I'll mention what I do whenever I stall…..I actually eat MORE! Healthy and calorie conscious of course, such as more Protein (lean meat), Protein shake, salad, etc., but I eat 5 meals instead of 3 and so far this has gotten me out of 3 stalls within just a couple of days. I can't say that it's scientific but it works for me but I actually got the idea from someone that posted it on this site so apparently there must be something to it.

      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?
