I started my two week pre op diet yesterday. It’s defiantly challenging. I think what makes it doable for me is that the dietitian gave me a specific diet to follow. Unlimited Protein Shakes and Water with one major meal. So basically a Protein and veggies or legumes. I work better with structure. I got rid of any and all things on my home that would be temping. I informed all my friends to support my journey so they are aware and won’t put temping things in my way. I don’t know what your living situation is but this is what’s working for me so far. My advice would be to take it one day at a time. Failure today success tomorrow. You can do this!!!

Follow it AND keep a food/liquid diary.

You can do that in a book, or Word, or Notepad ... strictly on your own.

Or you can use a place like http://www.myfitnesspal.com where you can track with support.

I'm happy to report that I'm doing much better now! I bought a book on binge eating and I have an accountability buddy. We send pics of our food & the amount of calories we're eating. Thanks again everyone :)

      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.
