6 months post OP and I'm kinda stuck in the process



Recommended Posts

@ Dub, I'm telling you now I know you can do it as long as you can so please don't be discouraged yourself but it will give your body time to adjust before it gets used.

I have had the exact same experience for few months. My WLS was on April 14, 2015, and my weight was 403 before my surgery.

I was struggling to meet the requirements last few months then my weight was stalled temporarily when I was unable to lose weight because I thought about going back to old bad habit again. After that I'd been fighting with my demons for quite some time and I have been seeing my dietician when complaining about my struggles so she puts me on strict 600-800 calories diet. Finally I lose some unwanted weight and my weight is now 261, but I know it's not easy to follow the restrictions.

But still you can do it. I'm highly recommended you talks to your Bariatric Doctor, NUT, or dietician about your struggles ASAP.

Did you record any food intakes into your log book?

How much grams of carbs/sugars they recommends you to eat?

Did they tell you that you can drink Decaf coffee instead of regular coffee so that your sleeved stomach can tolerate?

Something like that you will be able to follow your restrictions if possible.

I wasn't told exactly to take Vitamins so haven't been doing that very much. I'm gonna look some up and start that

Definitely. When you have your six-month follow-up it should include a blood test to check your Vitamin levels.

What is your Protein target? Are you reaching that daily?

Protein target is 80-100 grams daily. But when I get to about 50 I have a full feeling. It's not fun so I don't force myself to eat. Plus I drink about 130-140 oz of Water daily. Try my best to at least. I'll talk to them about that tho. Thank 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?
