Hang in there. Not everyone drops a ton of weight right away.

Remember, you just put your body through some significant trauma. Not only does it have to heal, but it also has to get used to your new plan.

If you were able to lose 11 pounds each week at Weight Watchers, you were doing great even before you started this journey. Now if you stick to your programs plan and approach it the same way you must have for WW, you should see some great success.

I know my first 2 months I questioned whether my surgeon had even done anything. The weight was coming off at 3-5 pounds a week, I didn't have issues getting in my fluids, never felt full and didn't seem to be progressing. Luckily I stuck with the plan, kept my focus and now at 6 months out I'm 15 pounds from my goal.

      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.
