Don't let your mind play tricks on you' date=' it will try to tell you that this is not working, and that you need to give up. DON'T LISTEN! You can do this! You are stronger than you think you are,

I recomend that you go to ABC's website or if you have an iPad download the app, and watch Extreme Makeover weight loss (Nayla's episode) I for one found this episode had so much insight into how we view ourselves & how much more we are capable of than we think. I really believe that it could only help.[/quote']

Thanks, I will have to check this out. You are so right it's like the scale is saying everything I have ever tried and failed is my fault. It would be horrible if I failed at this too.

I seem to stall for weeks at a time. I guess that's why it's called a stall. I really need to throw away that stupid scale.

I don't have a scale for this exact reason. I'm afraid I'll put too much stock in the digits and lose sight of what really matters. I did this for my health, my future. I'm only day 12 so all I can do is focus on fluids, Protein, exercise. I'll weigh at my doctors office for my week 5 follow up. I hope I don't have a different opinion then. :)

      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.
