How did you prepare for the post op lifestyle. . How much did you weigh and how much did you loose if you don't mind me asking? Do you have to work out everyday now that ypu had the surgery. . Do you have more energy

I walk my dog twice a day usually. I started out at 304 lbs and got down to 147. That was in 2004. I am now up to 212. I am back on the Protein shakes now.

I have recently become a vegetarian so most of my Protein comes from whey protein.shakes made out of almond milk. The almond milk has 30 calories per 8 ounces. I am also eating cheese and some Greek yogurt. My surgery was in.July of 2003. Good luck with your progress. Let's keep in touch.

      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.
