Don't give into eating sweets. It is habit and your mind will sabotage your weight loss. Try to eat Proteins first and then veggies. I know that I am addicted to Quest Protein Bars even though it's a Protein Bar, I can still gain weight on it. :( So I am working on getting it out of my house..... Get all the sweets out of the house and purposely avoid the grocery isles that have unhealthy foods and candy. you and still gain weight on SF stuff too. In fact it can make the craving for sweets even stronger. Plus the sugar alcohols can give you really bad gas.... :ph34r:

Thanks for the feedback. Much appreciated. I think part of the problem is I am still not sure what I suppose to be eating and how much. I also just read on a post that each meal should be no more than 1/4 cup. Is this true? Also was not told how many calories to shoot for. Did you guys get a manual?

      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.
