I am about 2 weeks out(Friday) and I am doing great. I have lost almost 25 pounds since the surgery. I have been back to work since Monday and again have been doing great. Although.... I haven't been super religious with my diet. I was following the Clear liquids diet up until this last weekend. I was so weak and woozy when I was on my feet that I didn't know what was wrong. Then I started to eat some blended Soup and what not and started to feel great. Was anyone else able to eat semi normally after only 2 weeks? I am still losing weight and have not over ate. Been eating Maybe 800 cal a day, and watching sodium intake and what not. Been taking my Vitamins and Calcium, but I just have to eat food with substance or I really cant function very well. Again, just seeing if anyone else was in the same boat I am.

Oh and I broke the 300 pound range 2 days ago! It felt amazing! Haven't been under 300 in probably close to 10 years.

Thats great! Keep up the good work. I was banded on the 23rd. I havent weighed in a few days, I was driving myself crazy doing it everyday. Went thru a few days of no weight loss.

I have just started eating more regular soft food. Had a little salmon today. I stopped before I felt full.

Are you diabetic? Maybe thats why you need some real food. Potato Soup is great. Try some salmon though. I bought the frozen ones and broiled it.

Good luck on your journey!

      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?
