Same here! I'm almost 7 weeks and started losing again, but I lost zero from week 5 until a few days ago.

Im 4 weeks post op and had a 12 day stall. Dr and Nut said its very normal to come to a stall. Your body is just trying to catch up, its on shock mode right now.

When is a goodtime to start working out

The best time to start is as soon as the nurses will let you get out of bed after surgery. Start walking. And, continue to walk everyday once you've gotten home. As far as more strenuous exercise, ask your dr. I was free to do all exercise at week 3. I began the couch to 5 k program and now I'm almost 7 weeks out from surgery and am in week 4 of couch to 5k. Using the elliptical on days I'm not jogging.

      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?
