Just waiting for final insurance ok. My surgeon gave me a date of Mov 7th. I went ahead and started the preop diet and hos is tough! Three EAS Advantage shakes a day and Water. I have made it through one week of it, and lost 16 pounds. Im only taking in 7.5 carbs a day, 17 grams of Protein each shake. When you lower your carb intake that drastically, apparantly it knocks out your appetite! I have had a few times of feeling really hungry, so I just down a bottle of Water. I think my body got rid of fluod last week, and thos week it will be dipping in to stored fat, and my body will fight! I feel a whole lot better already. My daughter asked me why I need the surgery if I am losing thos way. I told her I dont know many people that could survive on this longer than two weeks. This diet is about one thing . . .it shows you what your really made of and how much dicipline you can really have. Also the fact that there is an end in site helps!

How are you doing with your band? I went to England to meet all of my british family. It was a trip of a lifetime. I had been to England twice before bit didnt get a chance to meet them all. I love England and Scotland! On an earlier trip, we took the train to Inverness Sc8tland, then went out on the loch and saw Urhart Castle. So so beautiful. I wasnt going to leave scotlamd until I heard someone playing the bagpipes. Brought me to tears. I was so embarrassed to meet my family as big as I am. But I am going back next fall and they wont recognize me!

      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.
