I will try no guarantee. I'm also afraid back of my mind of getting fat again. I love my self in tiny package. I Hate the person I was before.

I think we all can relate. But losing too much weight is something to be wary of as well. If I recall correctly (big if lol), you said in one of your posts that your doctor set a goal weight for you somewhere around 130 to 140. At 105 you're 25+ pounds below that. That's a lot - some might suggest too much. The only way you're going to gain confidence in your ability to control your weight is to test it. Experiment. Nice and easy - minor adjustments.

Your food log is the absolute perfect tool for doing just that. Use it! You will very quickly discover that you absolutely can precisely control your weight - up, down or maintaining. Your confidence will soar. It's all about confidence and control, not fear and denial. You can do this and you'll be oh so glad you did!!

I will try it starting over next week Monday :) I increase the calorie intake to 1300 and lets see what happens. I'm making better decisions in food intake. Real food gets me fuller for longer then having a snack & then keep snacking on healthy but not so full feeling food. I have to try to make better plans to stick to it.

      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.
