I have changed a ton of my eating habits but I am not a health nut. I choose low calorie alternatives...instead of a candy bar I will have a Protein Bar, fat free milk vs 2% ect... I still eat the same meals as I did before but instead of 4 pieces of pizza I have about 3/4 of a thin crust piece or a full plate of meat and potatoes vs 1/2 cup of it that I usually don't finish. Today at work we had ice cream bars & I had one I'm my hand a few people said to me you can't eat that! I ate about 1/2 of it and my high Protein chili for lunch. I rarely eat over 1000 calories and always hit my protein and Water goals. I am 2.5 months out and have lost 44 lbs+.

This life is your journey, no one else's. We are losing weight so we can have a normal life. We are learning to indulge just a little, every once in a while. 1/2 an ice cream bar is probably a victory for you. In the past you probably would have eaten a lot more than that. Continue your weight loss journey knowing that you will succeed because it looks to me like you are doing a great job.

If it works for you then fine, this is your own journey no one else's, just don't compare your losses with anyone else either . The food/exercise program you follow will give weight loss that is just for you. Enjoy!

We're all guaranteed to fail because we're human. Sounds to me like you're doing fine overall.

      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.

      I would like to know what questions you wish you had asked prior to your duodenal switch surgery?
