Never imagined the difficulty....

Omg, your the same as I was. I kept a big ol cup of my favorite drink, peach tea with me all the time and would gulp it down, and never felt like I could get enough (prior to surgery). I guess in a way this does prove that things gradually improve and you can drink and eat more as time goes on, because I already can do a near gulp of my drink. The same urge to eat for me is the same for a drink, I truly have to make myself drink. It's no where the same as before, I have to remember to drink or else I won't get enough in, but its changed drastically from prior to surgery. Drinking fills me up, but more temporarily then food. Right after surgery was super scary for me because you can fill your drink fill up your tummy and it scared me. I am definitely drinking more than I was right after surgery, and I guess the same as food. My food for today included a yogurt cup that I ate for Breakfast and lunch because I definitely can't finish it in one sitting, and for dinner I had fish and the fillet was very small, like no longer than my finger, and I didn't even finish all of that. I will have to look back for her user name, but someone had commented that they can eat quite a bit at 6 months and how they'd wish they only had the desire for the small amount still, so I've tried to convince myself to appreciate that and the fact that I am getting a lot of weight off quick because of it. It's like a constant battle with your mind though that's for sure.

      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.
