Tomorrow when you wake up know it's a fresh start. Say no to all the garbage foods. Then lower your calorie count. You did it before...you CAN do it again. Find a positive mind set. Set small goals and work towards them. If the foods the family has is a problem ask them to be considerate and change a little. If that's not an option maybe go for a walk while they have dinner. You can and WILL do it.

Just because your husband buys you donuts and fries things doesn't mean you have to eat it.

Try going back to basics:

Follow your program.

Track your food.

Focus on getting in all of your Protein and fluids.

Avoid starches, added sugars, fried foods.

Take your Vitamins and supplements as instructed.

And, exercise.

I suggest you make an appointment with your NUT to talk about your challenges and goals.

In addition, you may want to make an appointment with a counselor or therapist.

Until you get to talk with your Nutritionist, therapist, and Bariatric team, why not gather all of the "comfort foods" daily and donate them to the homeless?

After a week of doing this EVERY day, I think your family will get the hint: You are NOT going to eat that kind of food.

You are simply off track--mentally as well as physically. Go and get yourself some guidance. It can be done. I did it after a 4 year hiatus. I know that you can get back on track too. You just have to want to badly enough to do so.

You CAN do this.

Get mov'n! :)

Keep us posted as to your progress.

We care--really we do.

Prayers going up for you.

      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.
