So yes I made it out of the 200's :-) yah me I get it's a big deal for those that use the imperial system ... Which is this website so :-)

I saw my surgeon on Friday and he was happy with how things are going except he told me to exercise more and to stop my anti nausea medication because that makes you constipated so yeah.

Umm nothing else to say oh yeah in case you am wondering I am 10 weeks post op :-)

Would you do it again? The more I read about not even being able to get a protien shake down first few weeks, how do you get Vitamins and liquids down then? I am getting real scared

Would I do it again ? Well at this stage I'm not sure, yes I am losing weight but it hasn't been easy and I have been sick a lot ... It is getting better slowly ...

In the first few weeks drinking liquids was hard enough I needed to get thru 1ltr a day and that was a mission. To start with it's all about protien so that's your focus I am still only managing protien for most meals . I take a multi vitiamn each day (from week 4) but yeah I would say to anyone considering this surgery think long and hard because there is no going back and it's not easy...

I do agree 100%...mine has been a tough one too. 9 days of Clear Liquids before my body would even accept the Protein. Yes,30lbs down so far but I wish I had tried harder to do it the right way. Oh well, can't undo it now so I will keep chugging along!

      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.
