I feel like I must have looked forward to eating and cooking and trying restaurants so much before surgery that I don't have anything to look forward to after work or on the weekends....like I need a hobby..I already excercise...I just feel like now that's been taken away from me I need to restructure my life around? Ughhh idk...

Some people volunteer somewhere like the hospital..Some people train for marathons...Some people think about the things they gave up because of the weight or because they raised children or got to busy...Reopen your mind to the things you used to like to do and revisit them..See if you like them again....

Enjoy your new freedom from less weight and live life.......You might not find your thing just now but it is out there waiting for you....Sounds like a fairy tale but this part of your journey is the first part...It gets even better!!!!!!!!!!

How about creating recipes for the new sleeved you? Just because your sleeved doesn't mean you can't enjoy great food. Then you can share the recipes with us ;)!! Our official recipe go to cooking guru.

I find i am more concerned about food then I used to be..I look for really good recipes that are high in Protein....But tastes good to..I have also been trying new foods that I have never eaten before..it is fun for me for some reason...........:)

Funny u mention that recipes etc..I'm finding that I'm very disinterested in food..creating recipes and cooking would frustrate me I think..like to put a bunch of time into something I can only take two bites of ...LOL rather just drink my shake and keep it moving..maybe my answer is going to be more like running up my credit cards on new smaller clothes..haha!

Retail therapy is always an option but stay within a budget or you will get depressed when the bill arrives. I have filled the "void" with crafts (knitting, tatting, crochet and weaving) so I am always looking out for sales on yarn.

      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.
