One week to go to surgery :-), first week of liquid diet done! (not easy). Heading to Cleveland Clinic on 5/14 and so ready to begin my new life. Cleveland Clinic has been phenomenal and I feel I am in good hands. I was excited to see this app available for my tablet and find others who are taking this life changing journey. Family has been very supportive and shares in the excitement.

Good for you! I'm two weeks post surgery and doing great! I lost 20 lbs on liquids presurgery and another 11 so far. Its really rewarding so far...but hard to switch to just eating untilp full and not worrying about calories. I found great Protein Shots to drink so I'm not constantly sipping shakes.That's just what works for me. pureed food is going great...I'm tolerating everything really well.Hope your surgery and recovery goes great.

Well I did it and feeling pretty good this morning, just got my first sip of Water. The toughest part was taking my first walk last night, I sat in the chair for about an hour, the worst was getting back into bed, I am only 5 ft tall lol

      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.
