4/23, Omgness, I'm in the final stretch and I can't believe the thoughts in my head...



Recommended Posts

Confession~ I've changed my mind for a millisecond here and there when I think about the amount of times I will have to make myself eat daily so I don't have issues that linger. It's hard reading users having the exact opposite. I feel it's a bit easier to cut down on food intake than to increase it and spread it out over time....it was just my habits.

See, my Dr. thought this would be the best for me since I already have issues with early satiety and I hated to eat or drink anything cuz mentally it was just pounds on a plate or a cup to me. I could live this life just fine with a pill for meals.

Now after 8 months of training, I'm better with 3 small meals with fruit, veggies and Water, instead of one large meal of anything just to say I ate and sugary juices cuz I hated Water. I think stopping cigarettes helped those changes occur since I hated veggies and water until I quit 7 months ago. Now my tastes are different and I love those the most.

I just hope it all works out for the best and fears diminish on the other side....4/23/14....this is it!!! #PureFearVenting

      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.
