Don't beat yourself up. I go out to lunch every Friday with people from work and I know that no matter what I order, even if it's fish, is going to be more calories the way they cook it than I do. I eat what my band will allow and take the rest home for dinner. That is my day of splurge. Cheers...

This is not an everyday occurrance I only eat out, if I am in a hurry or my kids have a function that I don't have time to cook at home.

I try my best to stay away from fast food and try to plan my daily meals but then there's reality kids work to equal life and there's only fast food as a option so we should all just do all best chicken salad for me an grill chicken wrap from time to time I try to remember that's this will only work as a part of a real life

I've eaten fast food twice since I've been banded (2/25/13). Both times, I checked the nutritional listings before I went and decided what I would be comfortable eating. This past Friday I had McD's 6 pc. chicken nuggets...not bad. That same day I was told that Chick-fil-a has grilled chicken nuggets, without breading...even better. I don't like getting caught not knowing what my options are.

I still eat fast food now and again. I'm a huge believer in everything in moderation. I'm pretty successful with my band. So I'm not going to deprive myself of old favorites, but I won't push it either. For instance, if I'm craving taco bell, I get a basic (not loaded up) hard taco. And I eat only what I can. I'm okay with throwing away leftovers. That helps a lot.

Like I said though, moderation. And you're okay!

      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.

      I would like to know what questions you wish you had asked prior to your duodenal switch surgery?
