Oh okay, I was on 11/19/12. My weight on the day of surgery was 391 ...now I'm 365. I sometimes feel that I'm not on the right track as far as losing. How much have you lost?

You are doing great! It's hard, I have days when I see other people putting up ridiculous numbers for loss that had surgery the same day as me. And I get sad...

But other days I realize this is my journey and It doesn't help comparing to other people:)

That being said I was 225 on the day of surgery and today I desperately holding on to 198.

Hi again,

You know,thinking back,and reading that it was your first time for the bread and the rice,I remembered that we all try these things at some point.And a lot of us feel that same old self condemnation from before.But I also remember that this is how I learnt how to not do these things.

I would worry that I am eating way too much.Or when I had even a little bit of anything off plan that I was sliding badk into my old habits.I did push the limits and then would realize but wait,it is possible,and not so it again.

All this is part of learning what to do and what not to repeat.And I bet you a lot of people that says I have never...well,they might just not remember it that well.

So as long as you dont push your sleeve with too much and you remember Protein first,enjoy your food.Cook tasty food.Eat complex carbs in small quantity if you need carbs.

This is hard and I still freak out every time I have something that I havent had before and it goes down way too easy.I had a crazy moment earlier this week after eating mash and a few bites of cheesecake for the first time.One meal but it felt like I was right back where I started.

Month 8 I lost 14 pounds after I upped my cals and fats quite a lot (went full fat after reading studies on low fat).These changes messes with my my though but boy my body loves it.Everyone is commenting on how nice my skin looks these days.

You just keep working on this,one day at a time.

This kind of makes sense. I've stayed far away from carbs until these past 3 days. Maybe I just need to recharge and I'll be okay. I'm ready to hit it full force at the gym tomorrow to make up for the calories lol

I always mix up hunger and being tired. I really agree sleep more and take warm showers or things that relax you and it'll get better.

      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.
