I was so scared to fail! Honestly I just took it one day at a time..once I got the withdrawal headache I knew I was almost over the hump. I was on a liquid diet for my birthday and I just kept reminding myself that I was trading in 1 lousy birthday for a bunch of great ones. It will be over before u know it! Once u start to lose weight it will be easier to focus....YOU CAN DO THIS!

Plan ahead. Keep allowed choices in the fridge at all times. It's easier to slip if you run out of diet friendly food.

Keep some food/drink with you where ever you go.

Make sure you eat at regular interwalls to prevent hunger.

Drink a lot of Water.

Step on the scale, it will show the diet is working.

Keep your eye on the prize!

So my husband has always been supportive of my choice but today I realized he really doesn't understand after the coversation I had with him. Day 1 of the preop diet sucks. I'm starving, drinking tons of Water, peeing every 5 minutes part of me wants to say forget it and go home get in my pjs and have a donut.

      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.
