Weight does tend to fluctuate during the week, but it's more likely mental. After years of being fat, it's often hard to see yourself as anything but the fat girl. :/

Yeah I get like this sometimes. I'm a few days from the 5 month mark. Some days I look in the mirror and go wow I'm so small and other days I'm like I'm huge. I think it's mental and the clothes I may be wearing that day.

I've been at goal for a few months and there are days I look in the mirror and think, "girl you look hot!" and then there are days where I think "well, hello there, fatty". I think a lot of people feel like this- even those who have never been fat. I weigh everyday so I know I'm not actually any fatter on fat days than I am on thin days, so I think it's just a mental thing. I have friends who have always been in the 120's and it's funny to me because before I would roll my eyes when they would say they were having a fat day (you're 125 pounds, please don't tell me you feel fat), but now I understand that even at very healthy weights we all have days where we feel like a busted can of biscuits. On days I feel fat, I just eat less and workout more and I wake up in the morning feeling better.

I go through this too. In fact, my husband told me yesterday he was tired of hearing me say I'm fat. Lol.

      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.
