Well I have to admit that I did cheat a couple times. I know, Im horrible. :bored: I felt so sick that I had to put something in my stomach, but I did make sure that I did the chewing 25 times and not drink anything 30 minutes before or after. Not that it probably made a difference but figured what the heck. I dont know what felt worse the guilt from eating or just not eating. ugh. But I got back on track so hopefully it doesnt have any affect on my surgery. Your consult is 06/22? How exciting.

You want to make sure that you are trying to stick to the preop diet because it helps in shrinking your liver. If your liver is too fatty it can obstruct the surgery from being done. I know it is hard but focus your attention on something else, like picking out a new wardrobe from when you are at goal. Good luck to you and let us know how surgery goes!:bored:

      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.
