Hey everyone. I'm 2 months post op and down approx 38lbs. I know I shouldn't compare but I'm wondering what everyone's average is? I still don't eat much and struggling to reach my Protein min of 60g/day. Thanks!

10 weeks post-op, I'm down 46 lbs since surgery, and a total of 71 lbs from the start of my journey (as measured from my first visit to the bariatric office. I haven't been having too much trouble hitting my Protein goals...when I exercise, I need more calories (I generally have three meals and two small Snacks daily. One of the Snacks or meals is a Protein shake), hitting between 800 and 950 calories daily. Heavy on tuna fish, eggs and chicken.

I was averaging 4-600 calories intake until I started really pushing exercise. I cycle daily, and it's pretty easy to up the calories with the added activity (I stopped losing completely when I was exercising and taking in less than 600 calories, so it was a conscious decision to calorie-boost)

      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.
