Recommended Posts

Yesterday, I was going through everything in our home to see what I could sell in a yard sale next week. WEll, I was able to get rid of all my size 22-24's. Yeah! It will be the 18-20"s to go next!

See your doing great with your band. I'm sure its hard alot of the time but I think you will lose more weight and keep it off with alot of dedication and your band there to help. I'm sure it makes you feel good to see those bigger sizes going out the window and the new smaller sizes coming in. Keep up the faith in your self and that band and you will lose more weight than you ever did on any diet and you will keep it off.

It's funny how I have kept many different sizes of clothes over the years. I had them all in big suitcases and now I unpacked all of them and started shopping through my closet.

Shopping through our closets--great description! Isn't it fun? I've found several cool items on a shelf in the closet that I bought at the start of one diet or another as motivation, that have never been worn. The trick now is finding them before they get too big!

Congrats, Norma! What a great feeling! I know you've had reservations about the band; I'm glad you're getting a super fringe benefit.

I have to say it does feel good. I am a woman of prayer aswell as many of you. I finally told myself that although I should have thought more in detail about my decision, I made it and have to live with it. I gain nothing complaining about it right?! So I put it in Jehovah's (have to give him a name you know :) )hands and am also going to counceling tomorrow to deal with the worries of what may or may not go wrong, etc. And to deal with the mourning of my favorite foods--creamy Pasta, pizza, big mac's, etc.

The fact that I am losing weight however, has giving me alot of energy and has improved my back. So there is a positive to everything.

Don't forget that your local Women's Shelters could use the clothes (with a little tax write off to boot) if they don't have any rips or stains.

Don't mourn just yet. You might still be able to eat some or all of them. I just had a slice of pizza, and I have no trouble with most pasta. You can keep the Big Mac, though.

      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?
