I'm 5 weeks out. I've been stalled for 2 weeks, which I know from reading on here is very typical, but it's still incredibly frustrating and a real head game.

I'm 6.5 weeks post Op. Down 35 lbs and so many inches that I'm thrilled. I am swimming laps and jogging for an hour a day. Loving exercise because I'm amazed and thrilled at how much my body can do now!! Breakfast every day is a Protein Shake. Without that, I don't get enough Protein into my day.

I still struggle to get all my Water in but I'm working on it.

I am almost 8 weeks post op. I have lost about 40lbs without exercise (I start Water aerobics tomorrow). At my 6 week check up two weeks ago I was scolded because I don't eat enough and I have lost too much weight. In fact, I have lost another 10lbs since I last saw the doctor; she isn't going to be happy with me.

It takes me about a hour to drink a Protein shake and the only one I can tolerate right has 14g of Protein (in comparison to premier which has 30g). I eat so little that I try to make it count so I will eat meat/eggs and try to snack on nuts and cheese. Then fruits and vegetables. Let's take today for example: I tried to make myself a Protein Drink but my kid drank it all so I had some Water. For lunch I had a small apple, again shared with my kid. About 3 hours later I started on my Protein Drink and finished it. A couple of hours later I had an egg and about 6 grapes. When I got home from work I had 4 slices of sausage (size of a quarter) and 6 penne Pasta. I say all of that to say: I am a work in progress.

      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.
