Getting Back on Track after Holidays!



Recommended Posts

Well, the reality is that eventually we will all be able to eat just about anything we want. The pouch stretches out. But, you can be successful regardless. Keep at it. You may be experiencing psychological cravings for carbs, I do. I think self-monitoring will be the determining factor of success over the long-haul.

Try getting support in a group setting if possible. If not, this is a good place and so is a web site called weightlossurgerychannel.com. You can watch videos from longterm successful WLS patients. The founder is 12 yrs post-op.

God bless you with persistence, perseverance and success.

My doc said at week 6 I'll be sitting at my favorite resturant savory a small portion of my favorite food...told him he was lying! lol. Right now (if my stomach would allow) I would totally eat a slice of fresh sunbeam bread with a thin layer of miracle whip, topped with manwich and a slice of cheese!!!!!!!!!!!! rofl--far cry for that bit of chicken I just tried to choke down and gave up on, lol. Or maybe one of those southwest eggrolls from chilis with avacodo ranch dressing... I should probably hush now.

      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.
