I'm coming up on seven and a half months post-op. Everything is awesome! I feel normal all of the time now and I'm still steadily losing weight (down 56 pounds since surgery) with 15-25 pounds left to lose. Hoping to get to goal right around my 1 year mark.

I just had my surgery 4/9 and I'm feeling lousy. Trying my best to get my fluids in and starting on Protein shakes now. No desire at all for anything with flavor, it makes me nauseated. Please tell me this will get better. When will I feel "normal" again?

It WILL get better. You will feel better and better each day. For me I really turned a corner when I was allowed soft foods and then another when I was allowed solid foods. I really felt normal the majority of the time by 2 months and now at 7.5 months, I feel normal ALL of the time. Hang in there.

      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.
