I had my full bypass on 11-28-16 and my weight was 352. Went to see my pcp on 12-2-16 and my weight was 339. I go see my surgeon on Thursday I wonder what my weight will be then. I'm 8 days post-op.

I wouldn't expect results so fast, your body is still recovering from the surgery, it is full of not only gas that was used during surgery to inflate the body cavity for the laproscopic surgery as well as your body's reactions to the shakes, your new stomach's possible reaction to lactose. And varied other reasons why you still might be bloated and artificially hide your weight loss. Besides you dont have anything else to do anyway except wait right? It will come... I hope. Lol. I keep telling myself that as well. We had our surgery the same day!

That is a fascinating tool! Thanks so much for sharing this!

What is kind of fun with that is to play with the percentage of weight loss and project where I'm going. I'm sitting around the 75-80% range with the way that I'm going.

      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.

      Day 1 of pre-op liquid diet (3 weeks) and I'm having a hard time already. I feel hungry and just want to eat. I got the protein and supplements recommend by my program and having a hard time getting 1 down. My doctor / nutritionist has me on the following:
      1 protein shake (bariatric advantage chocolate) with 8 oz of fat free milk 1 snack = 1 unjury protein shake (root beer) 1 protein shake (bariatric advantage orange cream) 1 snack = 1 unjury protein bar 1 protein shake (bariatric advantace orange cream or chocolate) 1 snack = 1 unjury protein soup (chicken) 3 servings of sugar free jello and popsicles throughout the day. 64 oz of water (I have flavor packets). Hot tea and coffee with splenda has been approved as well. Does anyone recommend anything for the next 3 weeks?

        All I can tell you is that for me, it got easier after the first week. The hunger pains got less intense and I kind of got used to it and gave up torturing myself by thinking about food. But if you can, get anything tempting out of the house and avoid being around people who are eating. I sent my kids to my parents' house for two weeks so I wouldn't have to prepare meals I couldn't eat. After surgery, the hunger was totally gone.
