Weight issues after 6 months post op



Recommended Posts

If possible I would try swimming for exercise for a while. This is a great low impact exercise and easy on the back and knees if done right.

I am not sure I agree about not weighing every day. There is pretty convincing research out there showing daily weighing is strongly correlated with weight reduction and, more importantly, keeping weight off. If you weigh daily, then you know you only ever face a 1 or 2 day ‘diet’ in future, not a month or two as weigh gain got a bit out of control...




But I reckon different strokes for different folks. Some focus on the numbers, some on the waistband snugness!


Everyone is different. I weigh everyday. Rarely do I skip a day. It has been a routine for ages and keeps me accountable.
Some folks can’t handle it. I get that.

I am 14 months out and I weigh myself daily right before I shower. It keeps me on track. It is easier to lose 1 or 2 pounds than 5 or ten. I haven't work this hard to ever go back. Everyone is different, do what is best for you

How fast are we supposed to lose weight? Following my diet, walking 2 miles a day. Losing inches but scale doesn't seem to move. I am 3 weeks post op gastric sleeve. So discouraged.

“Losing inches...”
That’s HUGE!!! If not losing one or the other, you worry. If at least one is dropping off, you are so winning!

      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?
