So today I was able to start the puree stage. I was sleeved 11/15. Basically since I was sleeve to my stomach is handling everything very well I have always eaten a little bit ahead of plan by about a week but I noticed that being 4 weeks out the weight loss has stopped and I think it's because I'm being too lenient with my eating. I haven't been logging or counting calories or anything like I'm supposed to. I have my log book out now and my journal and tomorrow I am going to start religiously writing down what I'm eating and tracking my carbs and my calories and my sugars. Is anybody else in the same boat where they feel like maybe they're not losing because they didn't stick to the plan correctly? I don't want to mess this up

Have you considered online support like MYFITNESSPAL or its smartphone/tablet APP?

It's been a big help to me.

Yes maybe no!!

I am not losing right now either, sleeved 10/24. Not consistently tracking either, but when I do track, my macros are okay - at least 60gr Protein and 64oz liquids, carbs 30-56gr average. It's a lot depressing which adds to my general seasonal depression which is not good at all. I am also bored with food in general. The scale isn't exactly stopped but one pound a week for the past three weeks is pathetic to me, and half a pound this week.

One pound a week is awesome! One pound a week is 52 pounds a year. Slow and steady wins the race. Make sure you're eating 1200 calories, and try to exercise every day...even if it's just walking, the more you run the furnace and give it good things to burn....the better it works. Good luck, everyone:)

      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?
