6 weeks post op. Tolerating things very well. I am on solid foods as I can handle. Still a few things I haven't tried but most part I feel great after eating. I am measuring I an getting in my protien and Water 95% of the time.

Rny was Nov 7th. But since my pre op diet I have only lost 43 lbs. I am feeling like this us so minimal. They say don't compare but how hard is it when I see people's weight just shed. I walk everyday. hard to keep positive when it just never feels like enough. Maybe it's all brain games for me or maybe I am too excited to start noticing myself but I still feel like the 300 +lbs girl. I question if I'm not eating the right things even though it's all mostly protien. Don't get me wrong I am proud to say I am 40 lbs lighter but I just don't feel it's enough.

Just needed a little vent this is my safe zone ;) I love you guys here.

40 pounds in 6 weeks??? That's awesome. Keep up the good work. Stay positive. If you don't feel the scale is moving, you might just be in a stall. It'll pass.

Ditto AC3!!! That's incredible! It does seem that the weight loss rate varies from person to person. I can tell you not to compare your journey to others but I'm sure at times I'll be doing the same. As much as possible Celebrate your success thus far! I personally think you're doing great! Your success is motivating people like me who are at the 5 lb loss mark! Keep it up and stay positive. You've got this!

This is Day 6 and I have gained 15 pounds. My blood pressure went dangerously low. They helped combat that with extra fluids. I know in my mind this will change, but it's frustrating. Hoping it goes down some by the time I see my surgeon in 18 days.

Your progress is wonderful. Just stick with your plan, and be proud of any loss you have. You're doing gread!

      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.
