Jessica, you made the right decision. You were brave enough to do this procedure so in my opinion your half way done because now, you cant go back. There is no other choice but to finish what you started because your dr. Cant return your belly back ????. food will be always be there just not right now. Look at it like you are trying to figure your relationship with food and you need a time out from it . You need to focus on yourself not food. The most important thing here right now it is you on how this is going to change your life forever. You are getting liberated. Enjoy. I hope i make sense. Well, that is what i said to my self today and i feel better. Did you go for your follow up? Good luck

My appointment is Wednesday I'm sure once I get weighed I'll feel much better. I'm very independent and I think that's what's killing me and eating bad food would take all the pain away..once the weeks go on I will be fine...thank you they do say to expect this

It is your thanksgiving on Thursday? I'm canadian and we have ours in October. It was actually great. I made all the usual food for the family. I was able to have a little bit of most things. I am 10 months post op gastric bypass. The point of it was I wanted to keep our traditional family time/ meal special. And it was, even with an enormous fight among the teenagers the night before. You will be okay. It gets easier one day at a time. Keep on keeping on!

For the first 3 weeks all I did was cry and mope.. We usually treat our emotions with food and this procedure forcs us to face our demons head on... It will get better as you find healthier ways to deal with your emotions... Reading.. Writing.. Exercising... Making love...

      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.
