From Jr. Cheesecake to a rice crispy cake



Recommended Posts

I have research the vsg for about five years, something allows seemed to get in the way. I then decided that maybe its not ment to be. Well a few months ago I realized my body hurts, I mean everything. I couldn't take it anymore. I meet a doctor that I liked and felt like I could trust. Once that happened everything became history. My voyage started Aug 20, 2013. The day before surgery i didnt eat anything just a little Water. I got there at 5am preped and all i rembember is laying on the table. I woke up with my mother and fiance where there (waking up to people feels great). First thing I wanted to do was walk, so after a while I did. From liquid to puree to soft foods, my best friend is Isopure juice amd water. At My highest weight i was 333 about a month and a half ago. Now I'm 299.4!! It feels great all my sneakers are a little big. I haven't worn anything that doesnt have elastic. Not ready yet. I try and hit the gym three days a week no lifting just treadmill. As of now I don't like the smell or taste of anything, hoping it will get better.

Had the same aversion to smells right after too. Id say it started getting better in the third month. My tastes r still changed tho which is so odd to me. But this is the best thing I've ever done for sure!

      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.
