4 weeks post op and i've only lost 12lbs



Recommended Posts

I had my surgery April 14th - my weight was 251 that morning and as of this morning it's only 239

I haven't cheated at all and I've been logging my food religiously. I feel I had a easier time losing weight before the surgery!!

OK - I know i'm just freaking out -Talk me down.

April 14th was three weeks ago, and you probably have had the infamous stall, so ... you've lost nearly a stone in two weeks. Way to go you! Onwards and downwards!

I miscounted - you're right it was 3 weeks. Thanks for the encouragement. YOU look fab, by the way.

I agree, I think you've lost weight and your body has cheerfully decided this is quite enough and is giving you a royal 3 week stall. Just stay positive and stay on plan. It will pass, although it may a take a few weeks. Also measure yourself - you may be losing inches, just not pounds.

At 3 weeks I had lost like 10...now I'm 6 weeks and have lost 24 (since surgery date). I started at a high weight too,

      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?
