I'm not religious but I appreciate those who are. He does not hate you, maybe he's testing your will? Time to prove that you can do it, not only to him but yourself as well.

Dont count lbs day to day. Your six days post op which means youre probably swollen, bloated, and still retaining Water from the anesthesia and countless IVs. Count week to week. So what if you "only" lost 3lbs in a week. Keep that up and a year from now you could lose 150lbs+ (I don't know how much you have to lose but regardless, those are some pretty good #s right there)

Keep following the plan and it will come off, I promise!

Take a deep breath. Most people gain weight in the hospital because of all the fluids. Your body is healing, the stomach us in chaos. You will be fine. Give it a week. And by the way God loves you as he does all of us on this journey.

You may have gained weight in the hospital. I gained 3 pounds from admitting to just as soon as I got home.

Remember or please note. God made your body to heal itself. It goes into survival mode the instant things start changing. From food intake to surgery. So no God don't hate you on the contrary He loves you more than you could ever know.... and He's right there with you. So keep your smile and know that your body is some what like a navigation system. It will recalculate as soon as it realize it's not in trouble, and the weight will drop off.[emoji1]

The first week I barely lost:( the second week I lost and then after that it has been a bit of a roller coaster. However, in eating right and working out so I have made a COMMITMENT to TRUST THE PROCESS and lovingly encourage you to do the same[emoji4] I thought I would be down more but will take this as I'm sharing to encourage you (HW 215 SW 192 and looking forward to GW 135:)
Never forget God loves you and is protecting your body and you every step of this journey and your life[emoji120]?

      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.
