Moderation just like anything else. I have had drinks since about 6 weeks out and have still been fairly successful.

Im 11 weeks out and I've had 2 drinks over the last 6 weeks. i choose not to drink because of the calorie count, but the alcohol doesnt affect me any differently than it did before. I did not get drunk or even tipsy off of 1 drink... Just my story :)

Even for those of us that were a little weak and had something naughty, just think of what damage we would do prior to surgery. We would buy our candy and then have to buy more for the trick or treaters because we had eaten it all. I would have candy wrappers stashed in my purse and would hide the evidence under the garbage so I wasnt found out. Those days are over.

I agree - I think we've all done well! Lord knows we know how hard it is!!

Congratulations!!! Well, I had 3 chocolates yesterday with my little girl. Today, I have absolutely 0 desire for chocolate. It's the craziest thing. I have NEVER been able to resist chocolate. It's almost TOM too. Normally, I would be living for that chocolate, for more, more, more!

Not only did I stay candy free on Halloween--many, many PB cups owe their lives to me not scarfing them--I am also having to abstain from eating junk food during Diwali which is a huge festival in India.

Take all the junk food you love. Throw it in a big pile. Give yourself permission to eat all of it whenever you want. THAT is Diwali. And I can't do any of it.

I kinda felt sorry for myself yesterday but decided to Celebrate the fact that I hit 60 miles in October, I hit half way to goal today and I planked for 30 seconds now. So I guess life is about trade-offs, and I traded off.

Sigh.

I was doing great... didn't have the slightest desire for any of the candy (weird).. but my 11yr old son was so distressed at the fact that I couldn't have any. I tried to explain to him that I really didn't want any but he just kept getting more upset, probably because it's always been so important to me before. After about 20 min he said 'can't you just have one chocolate kiss mommy?' Resigned to his total pathetic-ness I said ok. He unwrapped it, kissed it, popped it in my mouth and whispered "don't tell sissy" ...too cute!

      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.

      I would like to know what questions you wish you had asked prior to your duodenal switch surgery?
