Definitely bring slippers to the hospital with you. Because all you will be doing is walking and sleeping.
Don't forget to take before pictures and do your measures. Really help when you hit stalls and scale don't move.
First two week after surgery it will be hard to even take sips. Only thing that I could get down is Atkins lift Protein Water. Lemon one my favorite. It's at big Lots right now for 2 dollars a 4 pack. They are usually 10 dollars. I got these mini 2oz red solo cups to keep track of liquids intake after surgery. 2 oz every 15 minutes. Just remember to sip sip sip. You got 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.
