FINALLY... hit my 40 pound loss mark!



Recommended Posts

I’ve lost 40 pounds since I started my weight loss journey 3 weeks before surgery. Have lost 26 pounds since surgery, which was 9/11/17. I knew I’d be one of those slow losers, because no matter how hard I’ve tried to lose weight, it has always been a struggle. It may be slow, and it sure isn’t easy, but I’m doing it! :)

Wow! You don’t sound like a slow loser at all! That’s a very good amount of weight to lose in less than a month. How long would it take to lose that without surgery?

I’m only 3 days down but can’t wait to see the difference. How are your clothes feeling? Have you gone down in size yet?

I had my surgery on 8/29 also and hit my 40lb loss as well. It doesn't seem like much compared to others but for me it's a ton.

It’s 40 pounds in almost 4 months, not one month. I started dieting on Aug. 15th, and had lost 14 pounds pre-op, and then lost the 26 post op since 9/11/17, for a total of 40 pounds lost. Yes, I have gone down in jeans from a size 16 to a 10. I can get into my size 8s, but still wear my 10 and 12s for comfort. Also have dropped in size in tops from a 2X to a large, which is still comfortable, and not tight at all.:) And is met a nice guy, that I had my first date with tonight and all went great! A real gentleman, and we have lots in 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?
