Hi I go on 9-18 & get my surgery date but I CAN'T STOP EATING!! I've done so well the last three months and lost 35 lbs for the surgery but the closer I get to finally getting my date I overeat! UGH, I'm so frustrated with myself I've done so good and now I don't know what's going on in my head.

Don't feel alone! I completely understand... My surgery is one month away & I have been eating like crazy. I think it has something to do with "thinking" I'm never going to be able to eat certain things again (or at least for a very long time). I'm trying to eat better but this past week has been full of bad choices.

I understand what you are going through. I find my self doing the same thing, some days I'm on a very good diet of fruit, veggies, Protein shakes tons of Water and Vitamins but the next day I'm ordering pizza. I have 32 days until my surgery and I'm not on my per op diet just yet so I think mentally to deal with my stress of the surgery and the fact that I will be without these foods that I love so much for quite awhile, I'm so called "getting it in" while I can.

If it gets to out of hand I take an appetite suppressant to kill the cravings, this always get's me back on track. I know that I'm going to have to take them while I'm on my liver shrinking diet just before my date.

      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.

      I would like to know what questions you wish you had asked prior to your duodenal switch surgery?
