time periods.???

You will eventually move from Clear Liquids to liquids to mushies the solid food. You will have to eat slower cut small and chew chew chew. Exercise and drink drink drink. Everyday maybe different so at the beginning you maybe hungry, maybe not. You will figure out what your \band will tolerate over the time.

You will be amazed as to what you don't crave anymore.

It will just get better and every time you move into a new phase you be thrilled. You will enjoy food more and get satisfied quicker. Just follow the surgeon's/nutritionist's instruction. Goodluck on your journey to a healthy you.

      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?
