Thank you so much! I've been walking since the day I had surgery. I do a 5km walk, get my fluids and Protein in like a good patient and most importantly I surround myself with loving people who do nothing but root me on every single day! Including each of you every time you post your experiences here.

My before photo was taken 2 wks before my 2wk liquid diet, the difference is mostly I my face, mainly because of my cheek bones I'm sure.

I focus on how I feel everyday, the scale isn't something I obsess over and the reason for that is I'm too caught up in making sure I have all my eats and drinks in so that I have the energy to active throughout the day.

I also started using Hemp seeds (shelled) in my yogurt, it's like a 5g of Protein for one table spoon, chew, chew, chew:) Found in health food stores.

One more thing, always stand tall and be proud even when your feel like shit, I realized yesterday that I always came off confident as a plus size girl but never really was, but now the only thing that keeps me from holding my head up high and sticking my chest out is the pull on my insides that are still healing;) Much love and respect to you all????

      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.
