I'm going through carb withdrawal today and as a result have these rather odd thoughts.

Has anyone seen the movie 'Christmas Story' where the kid sticks his tongue to the flag pole and starts screaming "Stuck...stuck..."?

Well everytime I get 'stuck' that visual pops into my head only it's me yelling "stuck...stuck...?"

Ok...off to start dinner.

LOL-

I have been able to eat Melba toast and whole whet wraps. I use the pizza cutter and have 1/2 a wrap as a sandwich a few times a week. That usually is carby enough. I would kill for a bagel though. I am in NYC so a NY bagel just might be worth getting "stuck, stUCK, STUCK" for...LOL

I have had bagel aversion therapy thanks to my band! Try slamming one down...go through the stuck, stuCK, STUCK line thanks to ElfiePoo. You won't want a bagel again for a LOOONG time!

I won't even try a bagel. I make homemade french bread and I thought I was going to die. You can't chew it enough or take small enough bites for that one to go down.

No matter how much you chew, I think soft breads reform once in the pouch to a consistency of play-dough and become a very effective cork. I even urped one up in the shape of a cork once!

eeewwww...sorry for the visual, but it's true!

      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?
