I have been careful not to weigh myself unless at the doctors office. This weekend I was at my in laws and stepped on their scales out of curiosity, and at first one of the two scales said I had gained 1.7 pounds and the second said I had lost .5 a pound. I thought, this has to be wrong! But now it’s eating at me. How could I not lose weight on week two, eating liquids and purees?!

Hi there

Panic not! They pump so much liquid into you during surgery that many people gain a few pounds. Stick to your plan and I promise you, it will start to drop away soon.....

Same exact thing happened to me. I know this doesn’t sound logical, but when I started drinking all 64 oz of fluids per day, the weight started to decrease again. Also, it helps me to stay at around 800 calories per day and make certain to get 60 grams of Protein.

Hang in there!

I'm in the same boat! Sleeved 5/9

I lost 2 pounds a day for first 7 days, then nothing for the last week.

Hanging in there, but it's frustrating. I was hoping for a little bit more at the beginning to keep me motivated.

I am in this same boat now. I lost 10lbs the first week, gained 2lbs back, and have been stalled for the last 6 days.

How long did it take before the weight loss started again for you guys? I am hoping that this is just the famous 3 week stall early!

I am in Oregon too. I had my sleeve done at Good Samaritan Hospital. The care there was excellent.

      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?
