I'm not sure if this is the right section to post this in and I apologize if it is not. My name is Joshua; I am 23 and from California. I just found this site/app today googling some questions that I had about my gastric sleeve surgery. I am six weeks post on and have lost 49 pounds thus far. I just wanted to introduce myself on these forums and say thank you to everyone on here that provides useful information and/or support for other people on this site.

I am curious, how many grams of Protein are you consuming a day. I am having issues with that now

Thank you. I hope I can continue on like this. I know that the weight loss will eventually slow obviously but as long as it keeps going in the right direction I am happy.

That's a good attitude. I lost 99 pounds pre-op, and I have lost another 16 pounds in the 12 days since my surgery on September 28. That's a little over a pound a day. I know it won't continue at this rate forever, but I am going to enjoy it while it lasts! Eventually, it will probably settle back into the 3ish pounds a week that it was during my pre-op diet.

      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.
