My date was 2/12/14 and so far I've lost 25lbs for 2 weeks of that time I lost no weight (I didn't gain) I was surprised that I haven't lost more weight because I changed my eating habits drastically.I finally realized that Protein is really important and I wasn't eating enough. Anyone

Have any suggestions on what I can do to lose more weight

Yes, keep meeting your Protein & hydration goals.....and allow time to pass.

It's not a race, it just takes time. I remember feeling very impatient right after surgery because I wanted the weight to be gone, like, immediately. But the reality is, it just takes taking good care of yourself and allowing some time to pass.

You will lose weight.

I am 5 months post op and down 55 lbs. I am very happy with the loss as long as I can keep it going. Don't get too 'ocd' with the scale, sometimes you lose sometimes you gain. I only weigh once a week now in order to keep myself on track and also to not be too critical of myself. Your body is still healing from surgery too, so take it easy and don't get too caught up in the numbers. The weight loss is dramatic for the first month-I think I lost around 20 the first month. I am a steady loser though-I lose on avg about 2-3 lbs per week. Then I will have a week where I gain 3! So it yoyos a bit. Take your time, get adjusted to the lifestyle/diet change and don't just focus on the number. Focus on the positive changes you are making to be a healthier person and congrats on the great loss so far!!

      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.
