I haven't checked my weight since May 4th because I walk 4 to 5 miles a day and I'm just scared to stall so I just said I'll wait til next doctor's visit

Sounds like you will have a nice number when you do weigh! I know what you mean about being afraid of stalling. I only weight once a week right now and may change it to once every two weeks or once a month if I start losing slowly. I gotta see a decent number!

You have will power. I can never wait.

I'm trying to get a monthly mindset because I feel like if I stall I'll be so down and out

I weigh every day knowing that sometimes it stays the same but it does go down slowly... I have rarely gone up and if is does it is just 0.2 of a pound or so.

Yeah that's my fear it happened in the beginning after surgery so I just stopped checking

After I was miserable because of weight stall starting my 3rd week post-op, my doctor's office & nutritionist said to only weigh myself when I came in to see them.

Given that the next visit will be in 2 months & the one after that in six months that strikes me as just a tad unrealistic but I understand the larger point which was to focus on Protein counting & amount of Water drunk and not the scale b/c it's a distraction.

I normally have a weigh in once a week, i hate it when i stall too as it makes me question everything that i'm doing even though i know its all part of the process.

      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?
