Day 6 liquid pre-op diet sleeve scheduled June 21 and I really want to go out and get a Big Mac or something right now!! I haven't cheated at all and I won't but when I get hungry I'm thinking of all the food I won't have anymore. I know it's a good thing because they are bad for me and I'm determined to make it work and use it as a tool to a new me !! but I'm just sad that i feel like I'm going to miss out on food :( I'm being honest I loved my fast food and I am an overeater . My head is playing games on me

But you aren't saying goodbye to all food forever.

Sure, there's a period of liquid, purees, mushies etc but the plan is that you do go back to solid food after that. Hopefully by then, after all the effort you've put in, the weight you've lost and how well you feel, you will make better choices...

If you say "never" to things, they immediately become tempting. So just say "see you later" to food for now...

I was an overeater and food was at the centre of everything I did. Not now. 7 weeks out, I feel food is now part of my life but it's not in charge. Can't explain why I am not craving my old foods, maybe because I feel well, my health is great and I look better every day :-)))) but I don't want to jeopardize any of that.

Good luck with pre op, surgery and post op. Hope you post to let us know how you are once you are sleeved!

      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?
