Along these lines...I get stressed out watching people at the grocery store putting all kinds of junk to be bought and then put Diet Coke up there. They r overweight. I want to say let me fix that for you. What are they thinking?

Funny! But I remember ordering at fast food joints.. my giant greasy meal came with a diet coke! . Haha! GROSS!

I thought I was alone on this! Watching others eat to me is terrible!! Now I'm like "are you really going to eat all of that?" Or "That sure is a lot of food on your plate"... Lol its funny how things change!

Judgement? Maybe. Definitely a clear recognition and mirroring of my past behaviors and a desire not to return to that life style. I had to eat every piece of crap that I did to get to where I was that led to the surgery and a new way of life. It is the same way I look at active alcoholism. I can live without booze...I can not live without food. I am committed to a new way of life. Some days I do better than others.

I agree!! I can't believe some if the stuff I are people eat. My husband is included. He's never been overweight actually almost underweight but seeing him eat McDonald or Wendy's is so gross & it smells horrible! I can't believe I used to eat that stuff only 4 months ago....

No judgment here. In my case, I didn't eat out much before WLS. My negative feelings about increased now that I see how bad it really is. I really wish she would do better.

I haven't had surgery yet-going in in June- but I have been doing 1200 calories and exercising since Christmas Eve. I have been extremely mindful and haven't cheated once, but it has been really hard. I totally empathize with those people that just eat toms of foods/c that was me and still could be! It's truly an addiction, all that sugar, white four, fat, high fructose corn Syrup. Even for those who don't struggle with obesity ... That stuff is deadly addictive, the more you have the more you want.

      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.
