I used to think eating was a chore, but that isn't true anymore, and I miss those days! I still have to watch what I eat, but I can eat way more and I wish it was a little like that still. Make good use of this time!

Take this time to choose high nutrition. You have to eat so eat the things that are the best choice for your body. I kind of thought it was a chore as well in the beginning. I started eating very healthy at that time. Now 5 mths out I WANT the healthy choices. I crave spinach and roasted veggies, baked chicken and salmon, laughing cow cheese and roasted chickpeas! I watch my son eat a cheeseburger and all I see is fat and grease lol ....I tend to lecture him even though he is a perfect weight and very active. I still crave sweets though....but I found simply fruit spread, s/f Jello and popcicles and fudgecicles and special K or nature valley Protein Bars and they all take the edge off. I experiment with spices and things now too. You will develop a new normal over the next couple of months.

Ditto! I used that time to eat only stuff that was good for me. Now that's what I actually want to eat. (Except when I was home for Christmas and all I wanted to eat was my mom's homemade Cookies and bars ????)

      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.
