So today I go in for my 5th weigh in and my stomach is I complete knots. I JUST hit me that is really about to happen. im really about t change everything for a better life. last night I had a craving blast (that's what I call it) I fought it by telling myself how far ive come...but I gave in...but when I gave in I asked my self y I need to eat this, was I hungry, how did the food make me feel, and was it worth the guilt I would feel if I swallowed it.....all those questions came to a no, and I spit the food out and went to bed. so far ive lost 17lbs since my journey started in feb. I have a surgery date of june 20th. im happy im having this experience now. I understand why and when I eat. I just need some support. with surgery next month I feel as though I should have already concurred my food demons. Im still learning but no matter I ganna get there. please tell me im not the only one going through this.

Welcome my sister in this struggle!!! You're in very good company for I have been emotional eater all of my life and it's caused me to become addicted to sugary, fatty foods and it's really hard, even during my pre op diet I found myself cheating because the Clear Liquids didn't satisfy me. But trust me, you'll be fine with the support and encouragement here. We are all brothers and sisters in the struggle. If you ever have a question just ask. I'm three weeks post op and I've lost 33lbs but I have a long way to go before I reach my goal. So hang in there we will get thru this together. God bless!!

Thank you. it seems to get harder and harder to truly understand everything that's about to go on. I caught myself telling my husband that I can do it on my own, just because im so scared. ive lost my required weight plus 10 more lbs, but im just so afraid..what if im not strong enough?

      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.
