Hi, I've lurked on this site a lot and I do need some positivity to push me through, 3 more monthly weigh-ins until they submit to insurance! I've done all the appointments, now just have to wait out the 3 long months.

Do any of you have any dieting tips? I'm a binge eater, but I've been in therapy since February 2011. I get mad urges at night as I'm a night owl. But I'm resisting. More and more I can feel myself more lighter than usual. I'd say that's a plus! I hope you all are having a wonderful day!

I have trouble with binge eating also. The only thing that helps me is keeping my hands busy. In the past i would paint or draw, crochet or knit. Trying to get back into that but Netflix...soooo...yeah lol. It's rough but now, the biggest motivator for me is when i try on clothes and am actually down a size. Omg what a high. I usually get back on track if I've been bad or stay on track and go harder. I highly recommend it if you're feeling down and need motivation. Or just try on old clothes to see if they are looser. If all else fails chug Water lol. I used to do that and then go to sleep lol. Id have to pee something fierce when i woke up but i didn't eat lol.

      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?
