I started at 261 it's been 2 weeks out and now I'm 252. The staff ale seems not to over now. I just want to cry. Is this what's going to be the norm. Or is my body getting use to its new tummy? Help...

Take some deep breaths, in and out. In and out. You are fine. Losing is losing is losing.... try not to compare yourself to others who might be osing more or less. All that matters is that you weigh less now than you did when you got on the table. Right? You're not even in the 260's anymore, almost out of the 250's! BUH BYE POUNDS!

Keep your head up, keep following your surgeon's plan! I'll tell you that in the first two weeks I lost 11lbs. I lost like... 8 lbs week 1, then 3lbs week two. And then like 2-3 lbs a week for........forever. You won't (or shouldn't) drop a ton of weight all at once. You will have some weeks where you won't lose. You will have some weeks where you lose more, some where you'll lose less. It's not linear.

It'll happen. The sleeve works! If you are cleared for light exercise, maybe a nice short walk would help clear your head?

Your body is going to do what it's going to do. I think 9 pounds is fine. Remember, you still may be all bloated from the surgery.

Stay the course, keep getting all your fluids and Protein, and you'll lose just fine at your own pace. You'll see.

9 lbs is awesome. I'm 8 weeks out down 25 lbs since surgery. Slow and steady wins the race.

I agree, 9 lbs is great!

I'm 11 days out and have lost 6 lbs, so you are doing better than me.

Don't stress about it or it will slow down. Weigh ins only once per week if you have a hard time mentally. And the 3 week stall is yet to come... Take your measurements if you haven't already, it will usually show a loss even when your scale doesn't.

I started at 260 also. Sleeved 9/27. Lost 8lbs the first week, then ended up having pneumonia and back in the hospital...gained back the weight I lost plus a couple. Slow loosing following my hospital visit but my body caught up with itself and now, fast forward 11 weeks...down 50lbs! You will have moments of loosing a bunch, then a slow down, sometimes even a stall. Just be patient and know your sleeve is working. You will get there.

      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?
