What is the best advice you have received yet?



Recommended Posts

The best advice I have received so far is to drink more Water and slow down my eating. I have no support. I don't think Iam going to make my 6 month goal, Iam depressed and getting more depressed all the time

Best advice I got was somewhat related to the OP's post:

"Don't waste your first six honeymoon months. You'll never lose weight that fast again," said @@LipstickLady to me in a private post shortly after I had VSG surgery.

I had already fully intended to be the most compliant WLS patient ever. But that advice really got my attention.

Never compare our own weight loss with others. We are all different, and if we follow the "rules" of WLS 90% of the time, we will eventually get where we want to be.

Then the work REALLY starts.

After John's suicide the ONLY advice that sunk into my head was:

"YOU CAN DO THIS"

      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.
