Do NOT get discouraged. Keep the goal in sight. It will all be worth it...trust me. I stuck to my 7 day pre-op diet & lost 10.2 lbs. That was so cool. Now, I am 17 days post-op & I am down a total of 20 lbs. I feel great & have lots of energy. I feel in control for the 1st time in a very long time!! I control the food now-it does NOT control me.

I questioned myself.....for about 5 min! LOL Because I am a food addict & a binge eater, I knew no conventional diet would work-I have pretty much tried them all. If I had all the money back that I have spent on programs, pills, etc....I could retire. This surgery was the only thing I knew would allow me to get a handle on my eating issues. You ARE making the right choice! Do NOT kid yourself that you can go back to eating the foods that got you here in the first place....I did ALOT of research before I decided to do this & everything that I read says if you start eating bad carbs (breads, rice, Pasta, pastries, etc.) you will put the weight back on. Once in a blue moon as a treat but not on a daily or weekly basis. Those that have failed like to blame the surgery but when they are honest-it is what they ended up eating.

      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.
