I'm at the three month post op mark and I feel like my weight loss is at a very slow crawl! The day of surgery i weighted 226 and I am now at 180. YEAY I'm in onederland but, I feel the weight is not coming off as it should be. Is this normal? Or has the head games been getting the better of me? I know I need to be eatting more Protein I work out daily and get plenty of fluids. There are weeks where I just stay at the same weight.

Are you serious? You've lost 46 pounds in 3 months. That's 15 pounds per month. You are losing a pound every other day. How much did you typically lose in a 3 month period prior to surgery? I'm sorry, but I think this post is absolutely ignorant.

You're doing incredible.

You should be very pleased with yourself.

If you are weighing yourself everyday DO NOT do that.....

It's bad for your self image.

Your nutritionist and surgeon would say the same thing.

It's self defeating.

If you are going to weigh yourself do it once a week on the same day at the same time wearing the same clothes.

That's our lecture for today. LOL

Keep going on the path you are on and everything will be fine.

Ignore the harsh comments. Like me, you probably want your excess weight off, RIGHT NOW! Hang in there, be patient. The weight didnt add on overnight, and it will take time to come off. I just want to be sure that I keep it off! - Frank

      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.
