I don't have any questions, just need to be honest and be held accountable. What better way to do that than to share with you guys and gals.

Let a rough day get to me that ended up in me buying a slice of chocolate cake. Being six weeks post op, thankfully my sleeve stopped me after just a few bites, but I am so disappointed in myself.

I just can't believe I let myself get to that point and I really hope it doesn't continue.

We all make mistakes. Being honest with yourself (and us) is a great step.

We all have to learn and practice new habits, attitudes, and skills.

I bet the cake didn't taste nearly as good as you thought it would. I just hope it doesn't make you sick. (Just the thought of all that sugar makes me a little ill.)

Next time, try reaching out to us before you take the first bite.

I am proud of you for stopping - for reaching out and for reminding yourself what you want. Those are all good signs!

I gotta agree with the ladies before me...

Ok, so you had some cake...

We all screw up...

Our brains are pretty smart at tricking us...

But you've acknowledged it and made yourself accountable for it...

The next step is to not beat yourself up about it...

And, as @@Inner Surfer Girl says...

Come in here any time you feel like you're gonna cave...

There's always someone to kick your arse if you need it...

@@Inner Surfer Girl it wasn't. After the 3rd bite, I fell hard back into reality.

I hate to waste food, but I didn't think twice about tossing it in the trash.

And thanks @@Christinamo7 and @@KindaFamiliar I'm very upset with myself but I'm glad to know I have the support on here, instead of the judgement that I would receive in the outside world.

      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?
