I am beginning my third week and just starting pureed foods. How will I know if I tolerate them or not. Will I get sick, will I have pain, I'm unsure as to what the signs of intolerance are.....

I get pretty nauseated when I eat something that doesn't agree with my new stomach. I'm over 2 months out, and some things make my stomach cramp, and then the nausea kicks in.

I try really hard to only try one new food item per day. It's the craziest thing in the world, but some of the most bland food makes me sick, but mexican food was fabulous. I even ate some chips and salsa with my fajita meat, and felt fabulous. 2 days ago, I ate a Yoplait light yogurt Lemon flavor with a small amount of All Bran dry Cereal mixed in, and I was so sick.

I really think every individual's body will react differently. I met a lady down here who can't tolerate the foods I can and vice versa.

I've also heard just because it doesn't a certain food work right now, doesn't mean in a few months you'll have the same results.

Good luck and let us know how things go. . .

I am about a week ahead of you and began pureed last Tuesday. I would suggest, first and foremost, GO SLOW. My wife has been on my case to slow down when I eat, and now I do. Might take me 15-20 minutes to have a meal now. I am most successful when I take small, small bites and chew the hell out of it even if it is pureed. I also "grease the slide" just a bit with a small drink of Water before I begin eating. Make sure your puree is wet enough. I took a bite of chicken breast, chewed and chewed, swallowed, and whoops! Not even close enough to the proper wetness. Got the slimes. Ick. We were also told not to introduce a new food more than once every three days, and I have followed that. And baby food has been a nice taste diversion. Hope this helps!

      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?
