Almost 18 months out and struggling a little....



Recommended Posts

Hi all,

So I have a question I started at 277 and am now at 220 and it will be 18 months in June. I have stalled myself and have decided that I need to reset so to speak. I want to know is it still possible to lose wright 18 months out especially when you feel like you haven't hit your goal. Mine is 185. I welcome any and all advice. I don't think it is too late and I am totally open to listening to all advice.

Thanks

Danielle

I'm also stalled but don't feel I'm done yet. Have you tried the 5 day pouch test? Or diet. I'm going to try that. I've heard it works to sort of reset yourself.

I think that by this time, old habits start to creep in without us realizing it. Let me know if this works!!

It's never too late. Go back to the basics. More Water, chew thoroughly, more exercise and of course, look at what you're eating. My down fall has always been grazing. If you graze, try to do it with better option foods. I never did hit my goal. I'm still better off. The thing is, this is not a cure and the reality is it will ALWAYS be a work in progress for us. Good luck.

      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?
