The GERD is probably more concerning with the sleeve than the hernia. Long standing GERD can worsen with the sleeve forcing a revision in the future. That may be why doc is suggesting bypass over sleeve.

My Nutritionist had me to make some changes to my prep diet. As of Wednesday morning I was down 17 lbs from my starting weight of 260 to 243.2. This morning I get up and weigh and the scale says 250? I have been working out harder this past week too. Walking miles a day....weight training....and added a Zumba video that I can now complete the 30 min portion without stopping for a break. The scales don't seem to match. I was even able to wear an XL tshirt instead of a 2x last night. With the diet I am on, I am having headaches and severe constipation. I was having constipation before the changes but not the headaches. Is all of this a part of the diet? I am on a high---lean protein---low carb diet. I am trying to drink around 2.5 liters of water per day.

You look great! Congrats!

Heaven knows we were all eating disordered at some point in this ordeal. Use whatever tools you must to get through the hard times. Turn off the boob tube, and avoid commercials. Chew up and spit out...whatever it takes. Please don't forget to thank whomever you must for the opportunity to be healthy.

You can do it! Keep your chin up! The 12 kg will go so fast. Keep your focus!

Thank you for sharing. Really great tips.

Oh my! Wow! You give me inspiration and hope. Great job!

All I can say is wow! 16 weeks post op? I can only pray that I will be so fortunate. Congrats!
