Getting there is most of the journey



Recommended Posts

Ok so I'm roughly 2 months post op and down 35lbs and I feel great. Putting Protein first and everything else last. Exercising any way I can even if I can't make it to the gym I'm doing my part. I feel proud I cannot believe that I am doing as well as I am and turning down the bad habits like I am. The old me is gone and the new one is here to stay. Next thing to work on is my confidence...

Please continue to post you progress, such a pleasure to hear your positive message. I am curious about where, when you have low confidence?

You're doing great! When you see the smaller person in the mirror, believe it! Set many small milestones, and hit them. Identify with the new you and leave the old you behind. If you can do that, you'll enjoy this wonderful journey!!!

I know it may sound weird but all my clothes don't fit right anymore and I stand in the closet just staring and my jeans just fall right off. I feel like I'm going through up & downs, like I used to when my size 24 jeans didn't fit. Maybe I am so used to being over weight that I need a confidence booster.

I was feeling really frumpy, I work from home and rarely wear makeup. after my surgery my face looked slimmer so I went and got a haircut. man, what a difference. I have been putting on a little makeup and wearing a size smaller jeans..the haircut really made me feel better.

      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?
