In used to think that discipline was denial. It's not! It's choosing the thing that is worth more.

Mmmm ... I was not so disciplined.

On Sunday night, one of my long-time friends turned up with his wife, his birthday cake and a tub of ice-cream.

He cut everyone a piece of cake and dished it up with a scoop of ice-cream.

I had two teaspoons of cake and about a half scoop of ice-cream and explained that I was not going to attempt to eat more.

Said to my wife later that a real test would have been to not have eaten any.

Power to you, @I AM WORTH IT.

Oh, I don't know about that. You did good. Sometimes having just a little is harder than having none. Remember the old Lays potatoe chip commercial? "You can't have just one?". It's true.
And I celebrated that success because i struggle and I'm not always successful.

I'm an airline pilot, and we serve fresh baked cookie to our first class passengers. Every flight I smell them, and want one bad. lol. For the last year I've passed every time except one.

I've been to three celebrations where cakes were served post op. I've posted this before, I don't enjoy food. Pre op food and I were the best of friends. I have no desire to eat anything much less sweets. For me it's a very strange feeling since i always wanted and did indulge in food. To those who still crave the sweets and fight the temptations I salute you. I don't know if I could be as successful as you if I still had those cravings.

I pray that I have your experience post-op.

      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?
