My surgery is July 26th and im struggling with the pre-op diet. Today was day 3 and the first 2 days were easy now today I've been starving i've gotten all my Protein plus some and i've messed up and I ate a salad with tomatos, cucumbers and with organic fat free dressing. That didn't satisfy me so I grabbed a slice of low fat cheese. Now im munching on another cucumber. All good things but I'm just so mad that I'm being weak,and speaking of weak I took a Multi-Vitamin to get my Iron, but im shaking, and can barley lift my head up im so weak. I feel at any moment I could hit the floor. I've stayed in bed most of the day. I'm so ready to go to a drive thru.

I'm on day 5 and it does get easier. I have 2 more days and then I go to straight liquids. That's the point that I am dreading.

      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?
