JUNE JUST AROUND THE CORNER



Recommended Posts

It seems that I will be getting sleeved in JUNE. I am excited to start life again but I am scared. I found out recently that I have parkinsons & sleep apnea. I am hoping that by shedding the weight the sleep apnea will heal itself...as for the parkinsons all I can do is take it one day at a time and take my meds. I know that I will be alright. But I am still a little scared...I love food...I know I will be able to eat small amounts at a time but what if the things I loved dont love me back after surgery? I think I just have to adjust my head and thinking. THIS IS WHATS GOING TO BE BEST FOR ME...I keep telling myself. So here's a question what foods did you love before surgery and can you still eat them...has anything become your favorite after surgery?

Congrats on your decision to do the sleeve. I was sleeved on 12-3-13 and have lost 60 lbs thus far. Like u I loved food but I couldn't control my love affair and it became the enemy. Right after surgery for a few weeks I didn't have much of an appetite. I ate and drank because I had to. That has changed and I do get cravings but I crave different things than I used to. A chocolate cookie has lost it's appeal because for one it won't fill me up ( no Protein ) and two I get sick after eating anything sweet like that. I do the sugar free things sometimes like pudding and hot chocolate but for the most part I eat high protein foods which is exactly what I should be doing. Everyone's experience is unique and there's no way to know what your appetite will be like post surgery but take it slow and follow the guidelines your dr. has for foods post op. I don't miss the food and it's no longer the enemy, it's what I need to sustain me so I can enjoy living and really that's why we have the surgery. Good luck to u!!!

      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.
