The first week after surgery I was losing 3-4 lbs a day! now I am only losing 1.5-2 which is disappointing...I started working out 30 mins a day since yesterday..hopething that helps

If you're losing 1.5-2.0 pounds per day, that's still great! Now I did lose 28lb prior to the surgery, but my weight loss after the surgery slowed down a lot after the first two months. I am now four months out and only losing about 1lb per week. Sure I'd like it to go faster, but I already move a lot better and feel and look a lot better, and I am continuing to lose/improve, so I am happy with how things are going. If it takes me 12-18 months to reach my goal that is okay, I will still be thrilled to actually get there, which was inconceivable to me not long ago. The bottom line is, the benefits don't start when you reach your goals - you're getting them all along the way!

I added puree food to my diet and I am losing 2-3 lbs a day which is odd but I will not complain I was worried adding "food" would make it slow more...I am getting progress I lost 39 lbs before surgery it is coming off fast I will just enjoy it for now.

      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.
