Excited and nervous at the same time is very normal! I found the pre-op diet to be pretty difficult as well especially since I was still cooking for the kids. All I thought about was food, too. Of course, obsessing over food was not a new problem for me 😕 Good for you for sticking with it!

Your life is still going to revolve around food after surgery, it will just be in a different way. It took me a while to break my compulsive eating habits and it takes a lot of time and help to retrain your brain. Now, my life revolves around food in a healthier way: making sure I'm getting enough Protein, trying new recipes, checking my macros and looking at the food porn over on the "Food Before and After Photos" thread on this site!

I'm glad you're here. Being part of this community whether you're lurking or posting really helps.

Hello all my date is Jan 15th. I am excited and nervous all at the same time. Is that normal.

I have to be honest all i think about is food on this pre op diet. But haven't cheated and not planning on it.

I am only hurting myself if i do.

      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?
