I joined this blog because I am totally foundering. I feel like I have gone back to my old eating, and I am so embarrassed for people to see mem because they think I should be skinny. I eat candy, Cookies, and junk because I can't keep the healthy food down. I am so sad.

Please help.

If you can't keep healthy foods down, and are resorting to slider foods, then you are likely too tight. You need to get back into your surgeon and talk to him.

Contrary to popular belief, too tight isn't good. As you're finding out, it leads to weight gain because most slider foods are very high calorie. People are shocked when they have a little Fluid removed, they can eat healthy again, and start losing weight.

Go see your surgeon, his job is to help you through times like this, but he can't do that if you don't let him.

Best wishes.

Missy's advice was spot on!

Get back to your bariatric staff.

The band or us can not stop you from eatin candy &cookies, only you can stop that.

It's not about willpower, its about Wantpower. Do you want it? Then get to your Dr and get started saying "no more".

You can do this, it's not easy, but it is doable!

Best Wishes to you!

empty your house NOW.of the slider foods. yes it will be very difficult this time of year to stay away of the goodies but set yourself up for success. Track every bit even the sliders its gives you a visual view of what things cost you and easies to maintain or loss this month. We are here for you anytime you need that kick in the butt...you can do this but it takes work on the set up.

See your dietitian for advice which you already know about. Have someone face you and reassure what you should be eating. Sometimes a wake-up call is in order. As stated already, get rid of all slider foods, donate it to friends, neighbors, parents. It has no place in your house. Have nonfat greek yogurt, low fat/nonfat milk, crystal light flavors, low cal apple sauce, SF popsicles, SF jellos and lots of good Soups to eat rather than heavy junk foods.

Go back to basics and please start over!

Best wishes

      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.
