So I can eat fresh veggies now! WHOOT!!!

Yesterday I had the most divine broccoli salad in the history of broccoli salads(broccoli, sunflower seeds, red onions, dried cranberries, low cal honey mustard) wub.gif Today I made myself a taco using 2 romaine lettuce leaves as the "tortilla" (btw if you're looking for an inexpensive way to get some Fiber and stretch a tiny amount of meat throw some cooked lentils into your taco meat it's AWESOME worked out to be about 1gr of fiber per TB of Lentils) Anyway I don't know if I ate too fast or if the lettuce just wasn't agreeable but it all came up in a violent fashion. So maybe I'll wait on the raw leafies and eat some more crunchy salads

A good friend who had gastric bypass had her only horrible moment on a taco out to eat with her husband. She's never eaten a taco since. This was like 3 years after her surgery! That's always in the back of my mind........ and not a pretty image.

Oh...and what was your surgery date? I can't wait to be able to test fresh veggies.

      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.
