Greetings, all,

I hit my first 50 lbs. gone this morning, and I wanted to post and say THANK YOU so much to all of you who have supported me through the process thus far. I realized looking over my posts that I most often post when something isn't going well, so I really feel it's important to also post to say thank you when things are going better.

Aside from my surgery and becoming a healthier me, one of my goals for this year was to become more generous of spirit and to show an attitude of gratitude far more often than I do (which is especially fitting considering the season we're heading into). Feel free to share if you have anything you're happy about or thankful for, as shared joy is multiplied and shared sorrow is lessened.

Have a great weekend!

Tara :)

I'm thankful my surgery and recovery have gone fairly well. I'm also thankful for my family being so supportive. I'm thankful to be on pureeds and eating real food :)

I am so thankful for all the people on this site. I am especially thankful for my good health and skinniness. I love that I can only eat small portions of food. :)

I love this topic & I try to maintain this attitude every day. I am thankful to be able to walk & move without as much pain, and to be able to exercise my body so it can grow stronger. I'm grateful for the friends I have made along this path, and for the inspiration, motivation, and giggles they provide every day.

      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.
