This time next week I will be sleeved. I am so excited that this liquid diet is not phasing me a bit. I am not much of a "sweets eater" so the broth is a nice treat. Honestly there have been a couple of times that I came close to cheating..but haven't done it yet! The daytime is not hard at all, but around 6:00pm I get a little cranky and tired. Then, before you know it I feel like my old self again! I haven't had a diet coke in 5 days, don't miss them either, which is strange since I drank at least 3 Rt.44's from Sonic per day. Now I get Water and add crystal light. I feel great and know this is the best thing for me!:) Can't wait til March 23!

I was soooo excited the last few days before surgery! Ok. Except when I was saying goodbye to favorite foods : ) I really miss my diet coke or diet rootbeer in the afternoons. That was my thing to get thru the rest of the workday. I did try leaving a diet coke out so it was mostly flat. I had a couple of sips but it really didn't taste the same.

I have found peach tea (warm or cold) to be the most soothing and comforting, especially if my tummy is a little upset. I really didnt care for peach before the surgery. Kinda odd.

Are you traveling for surgery or staying local? The first couple of days after surgery night be a little uncomfortable or tiring, but you will be so happy afterwards!

      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?
