Having a rough time at dinner. So I'm gonna spend it on my phone lol. I'm 3 months out and I've lost 65lbs. We are at Cracker Barrel and I'm waiting on my salad. They brought out a massive plate of biscuits and cornbread and say it in front of me. I had to make each of my kids a biscuit with jelly. So that was hard. I keep telling myself it's all worth it. I know that. But I do miss bread sometimes lol.

Good for you. I'm only 5 weeks post op and I'm scared to go out to eat. I remember what I went through in restaurants when my band was too tight and I'm nervous what its going to be like with the sleeve. Did you lose the 65 pounds after surgery?

@@LSF I have been going to restaurants now for a couple of weeks. It's definitely doable and you get a few meals out of one order. If your fellow diners do not know about it then it can be a bit awkward but I just pushed through it.

I am 10 days post op, at the end of the month we have a birthday dinner for a friend at Fogo De Chao... A Brazilian steakhouse with endless meat... I am so nervous about being there with everyone eating tons of food and I have a Protein Shake.< /p>

Yes I lost the 65 after surgery :) restaurants are hard still. Just because every one in my family doesn't make it any easier on me. For instance I whined about not being able to have dumplings last night so my sister got some so "I could have a bite" I was like, "I can't have a bite. I just can't." They don't quite get it. I order off the kids menu a lot. A kids grilled chicken and a veggie!

I have had a few temptations along the way. I try to address it by finding something I can have that is as close to what I want as possible. However, if that does not work, I have had a small amount of the tempting item. And then I am over it. Because as I have it, one of two things seems to happen: (1) it "scratches the itch" for the item and/or (2) the item is not that great after all and/or uncomfortable in my stomach so I am less interested in repeating it.

I really try to remember that I can have all of this later -- in moderation. Right now I'm still focusing on losing weight.

Good luck!

      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.
