Monday I will be 7 weeks out. I started at 26lbs on 2/29 (surgery date). I have been at a stall since my last doc appt on 3/24....only losing like 3 lbs since. I have called my doc and they said we will talk at my next appt on 4/28. I am REALLY getting frustrated as we all know what we have sacrificed for this surgery. I am eating clean, working out 30 mins as directed by the doc and drinking Water. I don't know what I am doing wrong?? Any help would be great!! Please.....VERY upset!!

@@danica579 - are you weighing everything out? Mindless snacking??

Salt filled foods?

Have you measured yourself pre-WLS and compared to today? When some of us stall (like me) we lose inches vs pounds. That can go on for a couple of weeks.

If you are working out you may need to bump up your calories a bit and then really watch the carbs.

Only losing three pounds is not a stall.

Are you getting in all of your Protein and fluids?

Are you following your program?

Embrace the Stall!

one reason I change my ticker here at my official weigh in on Mondays is because my progress often feels slow to me, and it helps me to review and see that it *is* going down. Hang in there, your body is making major adjustments.

      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?
