Only 3# lost, 9 days since Sleeve!



Recommended Posts

Come on guys, I was doing way better than this BEFORE my surgery! And I only had IV fluids @80ml hour for 12 hours so I'm not in Fluid overload. I'm only drinking clear liquids, my bowels are moving fine now, I'm off the pain meds except Tylenol. As an RN I can't think of a rational medical reason for this! I am walking, not sedentary I've given the starvation mode theory some thought but lost like a boss on the pre op liquids!

Today is my 8 week mark and I am down 21 since surgery (42 total). I am a much slower looser than most on here. I was 222on the morning of surgery. I do not exercise every day and I know that is probably a big part of the issue along with often being shy of my Protein goal. I am a work in progress. I am going to my first support group tonight and hope to learn something new. Good luck on your journey!

      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?
