Feeling a little nervous



Recommended Posts

So I'm four weeks post op and the first three weeks I lost 30lbs! And this past week I have not lost one single pound :( I'm starting to get really discouraged. Is this normal?

Yes, unfortunately, this is normal. We all have stalls. Your body is confused right now and needs time to catch up to what is happening. Plus, you are probably still getting thinner, it's just not showing up on the scale.

This is the time to really make sure you are doing everything right:

-- keep a daily food journal (VERY important!)

-- eat Protein every couple of hours

-- drink a LOT of Water

-- stop drinking Water 30 minutes before a meal, don't drink anything DURING your meal, start drinking water again 30 minutes AFTER your meal

-- CHEW, CHEW, CHEW

-- exercise

-- stop weighing yourself every day

I'm sure there are other things but these are a few of the things to remember.

I haven't had my surgery yet but from what I read here it is very normal. Stay the course it will break. It's your body's way of catching up.

Thank you much! You all made me feel a lot better. I'm just going to keep my eye on the prize and do what I have to do ;) but I appreciate you all taking the time out for the support

      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?
