I just realized I'm at a stall.. I was 199.4 on August 27th and 3 weeks later I'm 191.5 .. How long does it usually last .. I'm better then I expected seeing as how I haven't been under 200 in a loooonnnngggg time .. Just want to know if I'm doing something wrong other than the few little things I have noticed .. CARBS just whole wheat crackers and toasted bread once but the crackers are frequent.. And potatoes once all approved by my doc.. Help if you can

First of all, you are losing which means you are not stalled. A stall means no weight lost and even some gain.

8lbs in 3 weeks is actually great! Keep in mind as you move forward the weight loss slows way down. I am lucky if I lose 8/10 lbs per month, and I do mean lucky.

Even though crackers, bread and potatoes are approved just know that the carbs in them can in fact slow down weight loss. Try avoiding them for the next couple weeks and see if it helps speed things up for you.

      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?
