are you on solid foods yet? Dense Protein is pretty filling - way more so than stuff like cottage cheese and yogurt.

Are you eating a lot but not drinking much fluids (dehydration)? food addiction is something that mental heath specialist can help you manage. Check in with your team to see what ideas and support they can offer you.

Call your surgeons office to see if there is a medical reason that you can’t get fluids in and don’t feel surgery restriction. If food addiction is taking over seek counseling/therapy.

Make your Protein and Water intake your top priority until you can get into therapy. Did you talk about food addiction at your psych evaluation? What did he/she say?

      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.
