This post is just for rambling lol. I will be seventh months post op on the 12th. I have most 77 pounds to date and still see myself on a good day in my presurgery weight. I have been in a stall for about three weeks or so which has me a little bumped out but I know this will pass. One area that I am week on is exercise which is funny because I was a fitness instructor for ten years when I weighed over 250 pounds, go figure. Today I decided that I was going to change up my routine. Instead of packing my Breakfast and lunch I decided to stop for a cup of coffee (only have that on the weekends). Ordered some breakfast from a diner and planning to go out for a salad a lunch. I am feeling like a real rebel and renegade today. I will be eating on this breakfast for the next three mornings.

As time goes on you begin to slip into a good groove of what a "normal day" is and how to make adjustments and changes when needed. This is a lifestyle change and one must settle down and get comfortable with who you are and what a glorious gift of life that you have given yourself. Its not the complements from others or the "OMG you look great" comments that make me smile, its the fact that each day when I look at myself I prove to myself that I am worth it.

      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?
