Hi I am 5 weeks post op today July/26/2016..My weight was 370 when I started. My surgery was June 21st. I went for my 2 week post op on July 5th. I had lost 20lbs then. Now I am down to 335. SO I lost about 35lbs so far. I guess it just depends on the person and what your eating. I can now eat about 1 cup and a half of food. My stomach is still not use to certain foods and it will let me know by me throwing up alot. So I just tend to stick with foods that my stomach actually likes. So far no problems. There are good days and some bad, but like the doctors say your stomach is like a babies new tummy, it will take time and losing weight will take time as well. BUt you will eventually lose the weight fast.

@@albare1978 - 14 pounds in a month is great and 7 inches off your abdomen is incredible. Just keep doing what you are doing.

@@kgilliam2009 - 1 1/2 cups of food is WAY too much - especially at only 5 weeks. Please check with your NUT and/or your printed materials as I suspect you should be more like 1/2 cup MAYBE at this stage...

Actually it's not...I eat this amount spread out for the entire day. I know I only eat a half cup. If I don't I throw up..my doctor already knows this. I'm actually doing really well.

You've said that you throw up? How often? I'm in my 5th post-op week and I've never thrown up, even on full food. Well, there was one incident where I chugged a glass of Water without thinking, but.... ;-)

I only throw up if my stomach can't handle certain foods..it's not all the time..it's because of the acid I guess in foods. My doctor just says take your prilosec and stick to foods that are neutral nothing to acidity.

Omg I've just posted the same thing. I too have noticed that I'm losing more inches then pounds. I think it's because I haven't hit the gym yet. I'm going t inquire with my surgeon and see if this is normal as well. Let me know if you get an answer.

      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.
