3 Weeks Out and Frustrated



Recommended Posts

I was sleeved on July 10th and lost 28 pounds in the first couple weeks. I am now on a soft foods diet and doing everything as I should be, but my weight seems to fluctuate between 2 and three pounds. Has anyone else experienced this this early on? Am I worrying too much?

Relax, take a break from the scale, follow the plan. ☺ It took longer than a few weeks to put the weight on.

I went through the exact same thing. First week post op I lost 29 pounds and I was so excited and happy about it, I kept doing everything right and my second week was something around 5 or 6 pounds I think, I was so frustrated, I even told my doctor, he said it's normal, that there will be weeks that you will loose many pounds and other weeks that will seem like you don't see results, but keep doing everything your doctor tells you and you'll keep loosing those pounds.
I used to go on the scale daily, if you're doing that I'll recommend you to change that to once every week or once every ten days, it will keep your mind free and calm and things will be a little easier, or at least it worked that way for me :)

Do a search for week 3 stall. Is notoriously common.

      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?
