I was sleeved on the 16th of may and what a journey it has been!! I've been through pain, regret and finally happiness. The most difficult part is watching people eat!!! I suffer so much from head hunger it's untrue! I still have to prepare food for my son, and watch my friends eat all the food I loved. But on the upside I'm over 35lbs down I starting next week I can start the pureed part of my diet ( one month of liquids is really hard going) so I'm looking forward to introducing food back into my life!!! It has been so much harder than I imagined, even with all the research I did but it is worth it in the end!!

May 15th here. I understand. I went grocery shopping for my family and realized that it has really changed. I threw Snacks in for my family and made sure I got plenty of drinks and fruit for smoothies. There are flashes of wow that looks good, but then I think I am over 35 down and I smile through it. We are going to make it!! Be encouraged!!! Blessings!!!

      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.
