Hi Susan, this is going to be an interesting time for you. Just how difficult it will be depends

entirely on you. If you have a lot of intestinal fortitude, you'll probably do well, and if not,

it can be quite difficult. You can be creative with your diet and search Google and the food

forum on this site to find a lot of ideas to make your meals more interesting. Or you can

whine about not being to eat ice cream and donuts. Sorry, I'm grumpy tonight.

I've had a very easy time of it and I guess I'm spoiled.

From the little bit of your intro, I'd guess you are going to follow your surgeon and nutritionist's

advice and do very well. I hope you do.

no whining yet. havent even wanted ice cream yet. so far i drink the broth from ramen noodles and my hubby eats the noodles. lucky him lol. and also myoplex 42 g Protein shakes. as much as i can handle. usually getting 1.5 a day so far. and for dieting, guys usually have it easier! maybe if youre grumpy, youre not having it so easy tho! whats healthier if youre not happy, lol.

      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.
