Here I go, day 1, 4/29/2020
Goals:
1. logging my food with my fitness pal.
2. Tracking my weight loss in inches, lbs, BMI, and Pbf.
3. Maintain at least 3 long walks (3 miles or more) in the park each week.

I hope the tracking will help keep me motivated. The logging will help me be aware. The exercise will show faster results.

Challenges to overcome before surgery... not proud of it but I drink too much so tapering the number of drinks each week will get get me there. Kinda like a countdown approach. Currently 6 drinks a night on average ... hope to be at 6 per week in 6 - 8 weeks.

Then there’s the smoking... yep 30 years of it... gonna start working on that on June 1st. Don’t want to change too much at once kinda mentality.

Lastly is this forum where I hope to find positive assurance and support. Creative ideas and thought processes are very welcomed.

By posting at least weekly, maybe it will provide some accountability.

      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?
