I am cleared for soft foods- so I've been doing some deli meat, cheeses, cottage cheese, fruits, lowfat ground pork/beef. How are you guys doing in weight loss? I did really well for the first 10 days after surgery and now I feel like it's going soo slow! I'm probably just being impatient!

@@gbstreck I've lost a total of 25 lbs. I lost 12 lbs pre-op and 13 lbs post-op and I've lost a total of 9 inches so far. I'm very pleased with my weight loss! I did have a whole week where I didn't lose anything though. How are you doing?

@@sleevegirl2 What stage are you at right now?

Congratulations!! I had gastric bypass May 21st, lost 15 pounds pre surgery and am down 19 since surgery. I guess I am just confused because I lost most of those 19 pounds in the first 10 days and now it's been pretty flat so I'm second guessing myself that I'm doing something wrong! After I write that it's pretty ridiculous that I'm even questioning it!

I lost 40 pounds since surgery. I didn't have a preop diet so basically it's been all within the last month.

I am still on the full liquid stage, however I did try some chicken and Beans, and it was okay, I felt fine. It's so weird cause then the next day I had Tomato Soup and I feel like I'm overfull and the food is just sitting in my throat. :(

@@sleevegirl2 WOW! 40 lbs, that's awesome! Oh I am so glad I only had to stay on full liquids for a week! I couldn't have handled it any longer, lol. I do the same thing with foods, one day I'll be able to eat almost a whole scrambled egg, then the next day only 2 bites! Every food is going to be different. It's crazy but I'm guessing it's the new "normal".

@@gbstreck 19 lbs in less than 3 weeks is amazing! You are definitely doing a great job!

Have either of you started exercising yet? All I'm cleared for right now is walking, swimming, and I'm able to use those resistant bands.

No, I have just been walking. I've been having some trouble with back pain that radiates around to one of my incisions- so it's been painful to do much of anything, unfortunately :( looking forward to getting started to see how it will help my weight loss progress!

Ok. Not sure how this site works. I am 19 days post op. Never had vomiting and trying to work on 60 minute rule for liquids r/e food. Tough!

      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.
