So i am definitely having my surgery next friday... EEEKKK... :I went in today for my meal planning class and found out i gain a pound.. i was so upset i started crying because i believed this last week and half that i was doing pretty good with what i was eating and i even went to the gym 4x in the past 7 days... SOOO even tho i did not have to do a pre-op diet, i opted to my dietician that i wanted to do it to get these 4lbs i need to get off before the surgey... i think it will also get me ready for the two weeks of full liquids after surgery too.. Tho i think i gain 2lbs because my period finally came back, thank God, i was afraid they was gonna say, "Sorry Koren, but we can't do surgery on a pregnant woman"... that would have been a nightmare... I'm excited and scared now but i have my family members that will be there, even tho some are not that supportive they still understand why i need to have this done...

Congratulations on your surgery date. I'm sure you will do fine. I'm surpised you didn't have to do a preop diet.

When I met with my surgeon I thought it was weird that he really didn't give me a goal for weight loss before the surgery. He told me 5lbs after the nurse mentioned it. I still have to do preop diet one week before the surgery.

Yeah my Dr. was the same way, he didn't even tell me that i had to lose 2% of my body weight before surgery, my Dietician told me that 2 months after seeing him... I was a lil upset but 3lbs isn't that bad... How's your journey going so far? At least you don't have to do a full two week diet.. This Optifast diet so far isnt that bad, everything i have ate so far is pretty darn good, i thought this Tomato Soup was going to be horrible by the way it smelled, but soon as i stuck it in my mouth, my tongue did back flips... lol i think it even tasted better than campbells. Later on for dinner ima see if i get the same reaction with the chicken soup... Good Luck on your Journey to bandland..:)

      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.
