8 days post op & barely feeling the restriction I felt even two days ago. Normal?



Recommended Posts

Everyone is different. As an rny person I don’t think I’ve personally had a significant “stall”.... more like a week with no movement but it moves eventually— especially if you are constipated and not eating enough Fiber.
I’ve slowed to barely 1 lb a week now but I’m very close to goal so I figure it BC my body is almost / or is at its natural weight.

Stalls are “normal” but different for everyone- maddening I know but hang in there!

I think I am in the same boat as everyone 1 week post-op....

I gulp liquids (but still dehydrated because I don't do it enough). But sometimes I have pain because I think I have too much and other times, none.

I did sneak a small snack cup of hummus and it felt like a liquid going down but fuller, I guess would be the word?

I am scared because I didn't lose in the first week and I am way under Protein, but I also am having trouble making myself drink Soups and what not slowly.

My VSG may stretch this is so bad! But I am not hungry and definitely am not overeating....

      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?
