How far out are you? How many calories are you taking in per day? Carbs? Protein? How much Water do you drink per day? Do you track everything you eat and drink? What do you do for exercise?

Sorry for all the questions, but it is hard to give advice without knowing more about what is going on with you and where you are in your journey.

In addition to blizair's questions, it would be helpful to know which bariatric surgical procedure you had. Was it a band, sleeve, bypass or DS?

Also, what was your starting weight on the day of surgery?

Since this is posted in the General Weight Loss forums, we have no way of knowing unless you answer. Good luck to you. :)

How long ago was the gastric bypass? I'm asking because many people find that, years after a bypass, they are metabolically challenged due to a phenomenon called intestinal adaptation.

Intestinal adaptation occurs when the small intestine adapts to being bypassed. The intestinal section that hasn't been bypassed undergoes adaptations such as villus enlargement, which promotes rapid and efficient calorie absorption. This has two effects: slow weight loss and rapid regain the further out you are.

      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.
