Gastric Sleeve post op



Recommended Posts

So I had my surgery 12-31-18 and I have lost 110 pounds so far. I’m still about 40-50 away from my goal and I haven’t lost any weight in about a month. Im not gaining but I’m not loosing. I’m drinking all my Water. Taking all my Vitamins and working out. I’m also still losing my hair pretty bad. I guess I’m in a stall. How do I resolve this y’all?

Hi!

You can Experiment :

Diligently *DILIGENTLY* Diligent track your food for 1 week, see exactly how much cals, carbs, Protein & fat you are consuming. If there is no change in your weight for that week, this is most likely your maintenance level.

To test this you could:

Start off moderately and reduce your cals by 250 per day for the next week to see if you lose atleast 1/2 lb

(7×250= 1750; *USUALLY* to lose 1 lb of fat you need to be in a deficit of 3500 cals per week or -500 cals per day)

Please remember that things don't always go by the book and other factors should be taken into account such as: medication use (especially antidepressants and steriods), physical activity levels (or lack thereof), age, gender, and if you are already at a realistic goal (despite it being different from your personal goal)

OR

It could just be a stall and nothing you do will change it. Wait it out 😒

Good Luck 💜

      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?
