I am 6 weeks out and stalled!



Recommended Posts

I had my 6 week follow up on Thursday. I did not lose any weight that week and only 1 pound this week. I have lost 34 pounds so far. I am sad.I have begun to exercise. I intake 60grams of Premier Protein and follow my diet plan. 1/2 cup 3xs/day. Will I continue to lose weight? My goal is to lose 100 pounds. HELP

I was 6 weeks this past Tuesday and I'm going through same thing. I posted yesterday and it seems like other 6-7 weekers are going through same. It is really frustrating. I've lost about 2 lbs in the past 2 weeks. Lost 35 total. I'm also following my plan of 80 G Protein. I get anywhere from 600-800 calories a day. I just don't know. Hang in there. I'm trying to!

Your body is adjusting to the next phase of eating. Of course we see big drops between surgery and those 1st 2 weeks post-op. At my 2 week appt I had lost 24lbs and I didn't have to do a liquid pre-op diet! But now we're adding purees, some of us are adding soft foods. It's more for the body to grab and hold onto. Also most of us aren't sore so eating is easier. Between my 2nd & 6th week I only lost 6lbs. I'm not upset because it's still a loss.

I recommend not becoming scale obsessed. It will make you CRAZY. Personally I don't go near a scale until I see the doctor.If you must weigh, limit it to once a week and try and make it the same time every week.

      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?
