What to expect at first pre/op consult

[Rucamama 104]

Hi! So I'm a ball of emotions with this process. I finished the seminar sent my paperwork in, now have my first consult with the surgeon Aug. 23rd. I'm wondering what will happen at this visit? How do you all deal with the idea of changing your eating habits for life?

One day at a time. The building up to the surgery is a great time to start looking at what you're currently doing and figuring out how to improve your odds of success. I tackled one thing at a time. Kicked soda. Got that out of the way...changed portion sizes. Changed to healthier choices...etc. Baby steps will get you there just as easily as diving in head first. Best of luck.
