I am 2 days post op. I'm feeling pretty good, still have some gas pains and a little bit of soreness. My question is...is it normal that I can eat a whole cop of Jello? Like the little plastic cups they come in. I make sure to make it real liquidy in my mouth before I swallow. I just thought with my stomach being swollen I wouldn't be able to eat it all?

Honestly it's liquid, it'll go thru either way but you might not want to push it this far. Maybe just have half and even tho you can eat the other half stick it in the fridge and have it later

Thanks! Yesterday I could only eat like 5 tiny bites. Today I was able to eat the whole thing. That's the only "food" I've had today. Other than that one Jello, I've had gatorade and water/crystal light.

I am 2 day post op too. :)

I am having no problems with getting my liquids in---I am rotating Water, popsicles, Jello and broth.

Over the course of the day I ate 5 popsicles and 3 of those Jello cups.

I took my last dose of meds at midnight last night and I haven't needed anything else. We went for a .50 walk this afternoon.

I don't know if this helps you---but i sounds like we are having similar experiences.

      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?
