Need to reach goal weight.



Recommended Posts

Hello all,

I'm two months away from reaching my 1 year mark. I really want to reach my goal weight. Have any suggestions on how I can get re-focused to reach that goal. Should I go back to one of my phases? Add more Protein? I'm eating what I want but I'm at a stand still and really want to reach my goal weight.

Remind yourself why you got this surgery in the first place. You had major surgery and had a major portion of your stomach amputated for a reason. Keep that reason in mind! Also remember that you have a powerful tool that you can use to get to your goal - your sleeve. You can do this! :1310_thumbsup_tone1:

It sounds you are not sure exactly what to do, food-wise. This would be a good time to check in with your nutritionist.

I find that I do best in keeping to an effective eating plan when I consistently remind myself that I am a bariatric patient and that obesity is a chronic disease and I am under treatment. I was self-pay so I can also fall back on my mantra "I didn't pay $$$ just to sit here and eat like a fool!" This may sound like a bummer but it works for me.

Thank you! That was a good reminder. I need to have that mindset.

      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?
