First weigh in!!!



Recommended Posts

I have not weighed myself on a daily basis because I think that I would be too frustrated if I gain so I have waited for my doctor's visits in order to be weighed.

Well, I went to my first appointment yesterdsay and I have lost 30 pounds since I was banded on Dec. 1. i am thrilled.

however, I know this is not going to keep going at 15 pounds a week (would be nice) but it is very encouraging.

I have been given the green light to start the pureed diet and to start weight training (light weight). i am on cloud nine. i have also dropped at least a pant size and I feel amazing!

30 down 170 to go.

Omg! You should be so proud of yourself. I was banded on the 8th but so far I haven't lost any weight. I heard that was normal. Anyway~ keep up the good work and keep pushing yourself and changing your life!:rolleyes2:

wow, I didnt even know it was possible to lose 30 lbs in two weeks. congrats. I know I have been lucky to lose at a steady rate of a pound or so a week and Iv had 3 fills which dont seem to help much and walking every day.

I didnt have to do liquids except 3 days, so that may be why others lose so much more at the beginning. Iv read many seem to do liquids longer. I did mushys for 4 weeks though.

      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.
