NO weight lost on pre-op



Recommended Posts

So I'm following all the directions and walking at least 8,000 steps a day and barely losing any weight! Did anyone go through this and end up losing a good amount of weight after surgery?

I'm scared to fail

I didnt lose too much before but have lost 8 lbs in 9 days so far since surgery. I've read that once you see the results you are highly motivated, I can see that may be true. My jeans fit better and my face looks better. My suggestion is to find someone you can buddy up with. I have a coworker who also had surgery 6 months ago and I feel if she can do it I can too. We will definitely be helping each other stay on track. Good luck on your journey!

I'm not hungry at all but I am a bit bored with this liquid diet. On Tuesday I can introduce puried food and I can't wait for some variety! Honestly I have had zero problems so far, speedy recovery, no pain, no nausea. I think it helped that I started walking daily 3 weeks before surgery. So keep up your walking, it's going to help you in recovery.

      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?
