Yes I would also eat before I go. It's about enjoying company now. You won't be missing anything for sure.

Good advice about eating before you go but you could also consider taking your own foods. I find it is much easier to resist temptation if I already have something in my hand that I can nibble on. That way I don't feel totally out of it while everyone else is eating.

where is the party at?... someones home, a restaurant ... If at someones home, bring your own food. If at restaurant i'm sure you can find something on the menu, maybe a soup... mushy pasta..... sometimes i just eat the toppings off the pizza and throw away the crust.

Exactly... I have learned that food doesn't have to equal fun which goes against 50 yrs of lthinking..... It seems you can teach an old dog new tricks.

If there are no options then I wouldn't tempt pizza so early on in the mushie stage so I would just eat a head of time... Then you could assist the hostess and busy yourself while people are gorging in their pizza

Just remember to CHEW whatever it is very well. You don't want a stuck episode in a party situation!

Seems like you need to supply yourself with what you need to eat for the day. Don't plan on eating what is provided at the parties- it probably won't be acceptal at your stage in the game. I at lots of cottage cheese and applesauce when I was on mushies. Protein shakes are still a good idea too. Mashed potatoes is an option.

Have fun at the parties, socialize and try don't to focus on the food.

      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?
