I have heard about people using coconut oil but did not know how I would react so I am also curious how we would use it.

I also have a bunch of do terra I'd like to use to if anybody has any suggestions on how to use it with our new diet and lifestyle.

@@Cutwater I also cook with coconut oil. I was advised that after surgery I should limit how much I use. My nutritionist doesn't want me to have more than 10g of fat per meal.

I use coconut oil all the time and have had no issues with it. I use olive oil for cold purposes and coconut for hot cooking. I am almost 6 months out and I have only had one stall that lasted 4 weeks, besides that I average 4 lbs a week weight loss and so the use of these oils has not hurt anything for me. Your body will tell you if you can tolerate it.

I'm 19 months out and I love coconut oil! I use a little it to pop my evening popcorn it gives it a really good flavor. Just keep it in moderation, as with any fats, and you should be fine.

      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.
