Today is not the best day for me. Treated myself to a pedicure and got really tired and weak afterwords and just went back home to rest.

I am so sorry. I pray it will get easier each day for you. From my research getting lots of rest is good. I bet that pedicure was great though

You are very welcome. I'm doing good. My pre-op diet will be starting soon. I find myself wanting all my favorite foods knowing I won't be able to eat them for a long time after I start the liquid diet. So I'm kind of going through a food Funeral stage right now lol. I don't know if that's normal lol. I told my husband I want to go to Joe's Crab Shack next week before I start the liquid diet. I have a whole lot of other Restaurant request that I ran off to him as well. He's like why are you eating like you never ate before lol. I'm like you just don't understand. In my mind this is ok. But I'm not sure if it is lol. Other than going through my food Funeral I'm doing great.

I went through the same situation with food . I was thinking about everything , but mostly what sweets I wanted because even after much better with eating I'm afraid to really anything because I keep thinking about dumping syndrome. I guess you can say I was mourning the loss of sweets.

      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.
