Prepare you're own meal like a Protein Shake or some peanuts or some berries or anything that's healthy I went thru 9 weeks diet myself with surgery tomorrow.

You have to be strong and committed to this process if youre going to have any success post op ;)

Definitely eat before you go and bring your own Protein snack or something in your purse or pocket to snack on if you get hungry during the party. Drink Water or diet coke.

Always be prepared with you own Snacks and beverages. Never go any where hungry and without your own healthy resources. Holiday season is upon us. This is when we can really shine! Everyone else gains weight and we take it off!! You have to make a predetermined plan before and event and stick with it. Each event is only a small blip of time. You get through them one at a time.

Great advice above.

If this is a potluck type party, take Deviled eggs. meat, cheese, veggie and fruit tray.

Great advice here. Especially since the holidays are now upon us with one food event after the next. I'm still working on my own plans - December in particular is a food fest here in the office with people bringing in food every single day. We don't have a full-on Thanksgiving meal this year with the family so that is one benefit. However, that means I have to cook at least a turkey breast for my hubby, along with stuffing, mashed potatoes, etc. Maybe I can negotiate some of those high calorie sides for some low calorie veggies.

Wondering what everyone else is planning?

      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.
