I love BBQ and Mexican food. I go to Dickey's or Rudy's and buy the meat with no sauce. I measure with a food scale or quarter cup and only eat what I'm allowed. I like pinto Beans instead of green all the time. (adds a little protein) We ordered in from Cowboy chicken yesterday and I got chicken, pintos and mixed veggies. I have meals for the whole weekend from one dinner plate. Big thing is to measure portions to plan and put the rest away. I'm afraid that with me, if I don't put away immediatly, I will start snacking. Bottom line, don't limit yourself, check your Dr's list or with the Nut and keep to their portions and list.

What you've been eating sounds fine, but I get bored without a little variety.

35 lbs sounds like a lot to me. I think you're doing great. Do you remember how much your doc said you could expect to lose per month or per week? Mine wanted me to stay around 15 lbs a month.

Whenever I felt like I wasn't losing weight fast enough, I would remind myself of just how fast I wasn't losing weight pre-op!

When I was 375, I would have been sooooooooooo happy just to see the scale creep down, even if it was only 1/2 lb a week... so long as it was moving in the right direction.

You think you're in a hurry to lose weight?? I remember opening my eyes right after surgery and asking, "Am I thin yet?????" :D

      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.
