These past few days have been so hard for me. I am feeling like a failure because I'm not getting in my Protein and walking around/doing little things makes me so tired. I feel weak and defeated.

Today I have felt so nauseous all day long, since my first sip of Water this morning. Everything makes me ill. I've only gotten maybe 10g-20g of Protein today by forcing down an Isopure and half a greek yogurt.

Not even close to my Water goal. I'm at about 24oz of water for the day.

It's already 4:30PM here. I'm feeling like a failure and very defeated. :(

HI

Keep at it. When things seemed overwhelming keep a mantra going of I Can Do This!!

I also started a"bucket" list of things I will be able to do as I lose weight.

I will no longer have to look to see if I am the fattest person in the room.I don't have to worry whether I will fit into a chair when I am out in public. I will be able to fasten my seat belt when I fly. I bought a ring that I really wanted a size too small. I Every time I hit a bump in m path I would look at it waiting for my finger. One day it fit. Then it began to get larger. It was my secret motivation' What was the ring? A big fat silver hippopotamus encrusted with blue stones and a big smile. He became the symbol of my accomplishment. I was no longer a hippo :D .

Open your eyes every morning and say I can do this.

Cheers,Jane

@@old lady pilot - thank you so much. I know I can do this. I just have to pep talk myself or sometimes I call my mom to help me feel better, since she's been through something similar.

All I can hope is that this isn't leading up to a worse problem and it's just my body adjusting to the surgery.

      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.
