Recommended Posts

Hi, everyone!

I am feeling like ive been kicked in the side and am happy that I am not nauseous right now. The nausea and vomiting was very scary. It has been hard for me to get down my crushed antidepressants, and things dont taste great, except for chicken broth. :)

What is the best thing I can do right now to get to know the group and take care of the band?

Don't even try to stray from the liquids to take care of your band. Do use real chicken broth with vegetables boiled in it and strained. You'll need a little extra protien to keep up your energy so get some liquid protien at GNC. Use that broth to get everything down, add it to everything. Visit the other threads to to get to know as much as possible about your band and the fututre of your band.

i had trouble with the very foul taste of my crushed antidepressant also. i finally took someones advice, and used a partial spoon of sugar free pudding to conceal the crushed pill. i just did not move the pudding in my mouth. it stayed in the pudding until i swallowed it, and my taste buds were singing. plus the pudding was very soothing to my belly.

also, i have learned, just today, that my antidepressant comes in liquid form...you can always check that out.

      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?
