We are the same. Same surgery date. Same lose since surgery. Same lose since pre op. Since summer I am down about 39lbs. I was worried about losing slowly too only being down 15 but they said I'm doing great? I have been struggling with severe Diarrhea for 4 weeks ( 2 weeks pre op 2 weeks post op). Yesterday the Dr gave me the green light to stop the Protein shakes and introduce regular Protein including dairy. I already feel so much better and the diarrhea has already stopped Thank God. I'm glad you posted, makes me feel better. I see some people already down 25lbs since surgery, same day as us. Every one is different.

Have you started foods yet? I weighed out 4 Oz of roasted chicken last night. I fully expected to only be able to eat 2 Oz. I ate it all. I have only felt restriction twice (during pureed stage). I've never thrown up. Im not complaining. Weighing my food will just have to be my way of life though because I don't have one of the sleeves that stops me after an Oz or two.

      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?
