I've been stuck @ 97lbs lost for all of December, its a great success, but too close to 100 to have it stall before the new year. A friend reminded me to go back to measuring & using fitness pal to record calories. Wow, an eye opener this wk. Somehow I reverted slowly to higher carb/fat intake than my Proteins & my portions were more than I thought. I'm 7 months out & eating 1/2 cup per meal. But I get hungry every 2 hrs & found that I was eating 1/2 c during snack time too. So yesterday I went back to Protein 1st, 1/2 cup meals & 2 oz protein Snacks. My caloric intake was down by 300 & the scale moved down 1.5 lbs! :) So if you or I get stuck, we need to get back to basics

... protein 1st & honest portions. I have a feeling this will still be a lifelong battle, even when I reach my ultimate goal.

      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.
