You look fantastic. I think you need to take a long hard look at your before pics and think of who that person was. Remember how you felt and then just get out and take control. You can do it!

Wow. I had to go back and look at your "before" pic again because you don't even look like the same person. You need to do the same.

You look absolutely fantastic. Here is the reality of it all. This is when the rubber meets the road and we have to realize this is one of those times when we have to make ourselves do what we know is right. It's tough to do I know this very well but after we had our surgery we all swore to ourselves we were never going back. This is one of those times when we get weak (and we all do) and have to conform to what is right. It's the difference between caving in and reverting back to a lifestyle that will kill us mentally and gain weight or grow stronger and conquer the old ways and demons. I think that you have done an absolutely amazing job with losing 110 pounds and I totally believe you can conquer this momentary weakness. If you have been slipping into some old patterns you might want to go back to liquids for a week and a lean piece of meat and veggies every couple of nights. This will help to get the carb monster off your back and kick start some weight loss. One day I will probably be sitting where you are right now and want you to remind me of the advice I gave you. It is all part of this journey and to expect that this wouldn't or couldn't happen is naive to ones growth. Getting past these hurtles is what strenthens us. Good luck and I know you can do it! :) :)

Correct me if I'm wrong, but it seems that how to do it is not the problem. It's why to do it. When you're fat, the reason is obvious. With a 100+ weight loss, the reason is less obvious. One thing you might try is this: Find a site on the web where you can enter information about yourself and then find out how long you have left to live. Do this 1st for your current situation, then do it again for where you want to be. Just a guess, but chances are you'll probably add 5-10 years to your life. That may turn the tide for you.

      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.
