Recommended Posts

ive been eating about a cup of food each meal. last night i ate one small porkchop 1/3 a cup of veg and 1/4 a cup of potato. is this ok? it did fill me up for about 3 hours. i know im suppose to eat 1/2 a cup but im not there yet. i think that a cup isnt bad though until i get another fill.

ps i noticed that when i eat less like 800-1000 calories i dont lose but when i eat around 1100-1200 calories i start to lose. its hard to say what is working for sure.

If i eat less than 1000 cals a day i will not loose. my doc says no less than 1000 a day and 1200 is ideal if your working out 4 days a week .

I dont count cals anymore , unless i stop loosing and i do that mainly to make sure im eating ENOUGH .

I think if your loosing its fine , if your not evalute the calories and maybe you need to either cut back or increase it a bit ?

      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?
