Thats good for 8 weeks. I loose 20 in 2 weeks. Your body is changing. It will lose a lot or less or nothing. Don't be so hard on your yourself. Best of luck and patient is the key word. [emoji111][emoji173]

7 weeks out and I’ve only lost 23 lbs. I say only because I wish it was more but I am also very happy with my results. Couldn’t have lost that much without surgery and I know I will continue to lose more. It’s a slower process than I thought it would be but staying positive

Glad you’re staying positive. As time goes on, the weight loss really adds up. Even more noticeable is how different clothes fit even with just an additional 8-10 pounds lost. I had 24w jeans I couldn’t squeeze into before surgery. I am now out of them. They were falling off. I am now wearing size 20w jeans and have room. My surgery was 12/28/17. More good things are coming your way. [emoji253]

You are doing great. I’ve had many weeks of stalling then my weight drops 4 pounds in a week. I’ve had days where I’ve wondered if I’m going to be someone who doesn’t lose like everyone else either (when the stalls come). Stay the course. You’re right on track. [emoji254]

Thank you so much for the encouragement! It is so great to hear success stories.

I am 12 weeks out. Weight loss started at 6 lb a week at first, then slowed.

Average for the 12 weeks - 4.5lb a week. You aren’t far shy of that at 4.125 - better than near any diet!

Last week and this, I lost 2 lbs - but these two weeks, the comments really have started, and I am down another pants size.

The best thing with this - it is way easier, I find ‘protein first’ a really easy mantra, and the weight loss just goes on and on - and I don’t feel like I am “on a diet”. Yay!

Follow your plan, and you’ll do great.

There's no such thing as "losing like everyone else". Each of us loses a bit differently. The important part is your weight is coming down, which should lead to healthier outcomes. Good luck to you. You are not alone.

      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?
