All in all I shouldn't complain, I'm 37 pounds down in a bit under 2 months.... but it's hard to feel like it shouldn't be more. I want to be that person who goes "balls to the wall" and works out 5 days a week but working 50 hours a week is exhausting me and that makes it so easy to say "naw, not today". I don't know how to get my butt in gear and just DO IT. It's a pain trying to explain these feelings to my husband. It isn't the lack of WANT, it's the lack of ability and energy to get it done.

At the end of it I just feel there is so much more I should do and am failing myself by not accomplishing it.

I have been exercising pretty consistently sine the day I came home from the hospital, I just don't want this 18 month "window of opportunity" to close without doing everything I can to help myself. On the days I dont feel like I i commit to doing something even if it is one lap. Sometimes the days I feel the least like doing something seem to be the best workouts.

Why don't you try to walk before or after you get home from work 2-4 times a week. If it's cold just bundle up and get out there. Doing anything is better than nothing!

Try breaking down your exercise into 10 minute segments.. 10 minutes 3 times per day will add up. Also, take stairs and park at the end of the lot & walk.

      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.

      I would like to know what questions you wish you had asked prior to your duodenal switch surgery?
