No, no problem at all. I'm sorry to hear that about you. If someone knows of a link between smells and WLS, please let me know, but I don't know of any. If it has grown from an aversion to a phobia, there are some techniques to help you overcome: http://www.helpguide.org/articles/anxiety/phobias-and-fears.htm

I don't care to food shop, but I know I need my yogurt, veges, a few fruits, chicken and chicken salad fresh. I really don't linger, and I spend very little.

GNC makes me spend for my Protein bars/ drinks. Almost as much!

I noticed I don't have what I call " my fat habits". For me those were cooking shows, cookbook perusing, lots of grocery shopping....you get it... All food oriented habits.

Now if I could lessen the "lets meet for lunch/ dinner/ drinks "that most of the world attends... I would be happier. And I do meet friends for walks and non food related fun also

Just me and my rambling 8 + years post op⭐️

      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?
