Now that you are 4 weeks out, do you feel normal? Do you have any regrets of your different eating habits?

Tomorrow is my first week. Everyday is getting better, but it saddens me, when I cannot drink Water as I used to, I hope that with time this changes.

I still get sad at times and I even cry because I miss that feeling food used to give me. At 4 weeks I think I am still fairly new and getting used to it and I am learning to find other things to make me feel good instead of eating.

I am a total chugger when it come to Water and I find that I can actually drink bigger sips now then I did a couple weeks ago!

When I look in the mirror I don't see the weight. Loss but I do feel it in my clothes!

My before weight was 230 and I am at 194! I'm 5'4

My shoulders and face are definitely noticeable or at least that's what people are telling me :)

      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.
