Oh I totally can relate to that. Trust me. When I had my surgery I had my sister & my nieces & nephews up visiting our very ill father/grandpa. I also live with my ill father who is in end stage renal failure (on dialysis) & has a bad heart (docs dont give him too much more time due to his heart) & I also have a roomate that I have to cook for every day. I had good days & bad days when I was on the liquid diet ( I had a couple of melt downs if you ever see some of my other posts) but it does get better & easier. I am only a lil more then 5 weeks out so it was not that long ago I steuggled with having to cook for everyone & not have any of it. Just stay positive & keep your head up & keep looking to the grand prize at the end---- a healthier, happier you!!!!! You did this surgery for a reason & you can use that reason as your motivation!!!! Keep your faith in God & let him help you on your journey!!!! I wish you the very best on your journey & I pray you find strength in your results along the oath of this journey. Anything that is hard in life is worth the work!!!! Nothing is easy & this surgery is definitely not an easy route & it will get rough at times but as long as you can stay positive & focused on your goals you will be happy!!!! I hope this helped you some.

Aww I didnt mean to make you cry. I know it can be rough but just stay positive & every morning when you wake up google a positive qoute for the day & write it down & put it up on the fridge or a cabinet or a mirror & everytime you feel down or upset or even frustrated walk over to it & read it & remind yourself of how great you are & how much you have accomplished each day & even just from having the surgery itself!!!! I mean taht was a huge step to take & that in itself shows courage & determination!!!!! Yoy will do great on your journey & this forum is great for giving that extra lift tou may need as well so always feel free to put up anything you may be feeling whether it is a bad day or even a celebration of your succes!!!!

      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.
