Almost 9 weeks out I know your not suppose to compare to others but I feel like I'm struggling to get the numbers on the scale to move like I see for people at this point I work out 4 days at least a week, just frustrated any words of wisdom? I've lost app 30 lbs so far and the last two weeks I loose and gain the same lb.

Don't worry, weight loss can stall at times. Just make sure you're getting your required Protein and Water.< /p>

Im sure you have been told this before, muscle weighs more than fat. Also, take your measurements now if you haven't done so already. I found when I wasn't losing pounds, I was losing inches. Don't be tied to the scale. I weigh now about every 2 wks or so. Don't let it discourage you. You will hit stalls. Did that in the beginning and a lot of my Facebook friends did too. Some as long as 3 weeks plus. Everyone is different. Get your Protein, Water and Vitamins in and enjoy the ride. You will get there, one step at a time.

Thanks guys I have went through my food logs and sadly my Protein has been under my requirements as my Water. I always worried about being dehydrated but my( and sorry if TMI) urine is not dark or odorous could I still be dehydrated? And if so will that affect my weight loss.

When my granddaughter became dehydrated, she ended up in the hospital for iv fluids. So be very careful. You really need to follow your Drs guidelines.

      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?
