I did clear liquids the day of my surgery and then full liquids for 2 weeks. I am now finishing up 2 weeks of pureed foods.

I was on full liquids for 3 weeks, then soft foods. Every doctor varies, yet all seem to get results if you follow their plan. I think of it as multiple paths to the same place. Best wishes, and do what your doctor says.

I'm required to start today, my first. 3 Protein shakes a day and clear liquid. Sounds like it takes a while to get them down, not like before surgery. Cooling mine down now, will try to get it going soon. Not hungry, but told we really need the Protein and Vitamin C to heal quickly

Yes it does take a little while to get them down. They told me no longer then 1 hour. They gave me a tip and said 2 ounces every15 minutes. I have a question for you. What do you mean ur cooling us? Do you heat it up.

      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?
