I'm in the 100's! Anyone else lose this way?



Recommended Posts

Hello Everyone! Hope your having a great day! I am 198 this morning! But a couple days ago I weighed 203. I was wondering if anyone else stays at the same weight for weeks and then wham... I lose 4-8 lbs. This is the way I have been losing weight since surgery 11 weeks ago. Are stalls normal so early on? I know everyone is different and I'm quite happy with the amount I've lost so far. Sometimes I feel like, o'h great, I'm going to be the only one this surgery doesn't work on. Then I realize, even though I lost most of my weight in the first two weeks, I have been averaging 4 lbs. a week over a 11 week time period. Ha,Ha! Anyways, I was just curious if this is normal! :) Thanks in advance!

I've been doing the same my whole 5 months so far. I actually get excited when I have been at the same weight for a while especially if the clothes aren't fitting the same because I know a WHOOOSH is coming!

I haven't had my surgery yet, but my last attempt to lose with low carb, I lost exactly as you say... weeks with nothing, then BAM, 4-8 lbs gone in a day or two... Mine always happened the week I started my period. Since that last big weight loss (and regain + some... sigh) I've had a hysterectomy, so I'm really curious what'll happen now...

I just wish my doctor would get my approval letter in the mail and we can get on with this! (My insurance said the letter was mailed out last Friday, I haven't gotten my copy, and I don't think my doc has gotten his copy yet either... I'm getting VERY impatient waiting!)

      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?
