Plateau - 2 months post op



Recommended Posts

I'm a little over 2 months post-op and I have plateaued. I know it is normal and the weight loss will start again but it is so frustrating. I lost 40 pounds in the first 2 months and now I'm losing and gaining the same 5 pounds. I'm following my plan, working out, drinking Water so I know it will kick in again but until them....argh.

My hair has also started thinning. I was told it happens around 6 months post op but mine started around 2 months. Anyone else have it start that soon?

I feel for your frustrations! I'm losing so slowly that it's driving me nuts. I've just arranged to see the dietician again next week as I'm at a loss what to do next. Hope it starts moving soon for you! x

It's very frustrating but like you said and already know, the weight will start back coming off and btw, that is EXCELLENT!! 40 lbs in 2 months Wow...keep it up. 👍

One day at a time and you are doing GREAT...

      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?
