It kinda makes you have buyers remorse to a degree doesn't it? The only thing is my doc wants us off of the shakes at 6 weeks and eating. I just don't see how that's possible. I'm almost a month out and the things that they said I can / should be eating make me feel like crap afterward. On a positive note im,dropping the pounds like crazy ????

My Doc admitted he was new to these surgeries but the most important thing is to nourish the body, how ever I come about it. I must admit, I didn't feel ready for full solid food so I guess we are all different. But he did say that under no circumstances should I push my body if it either hurt or made me sick.. if the tummy is a little bit swollen, solid food would hurt like hell soooo listen to your body first..

I think I was about 35lbs out when I really started to finally see the difference -- mainly in my face. It was hard to eat and drink after surgery. It was as if I didn't have the willpower -- I just didn't want to eat or drink, and I can't explain why. But it went away.

I also loved eggs prior to surgery. Now I'm just like "Ehh, I'm too lazy to make them."

      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.
