I am half way through the thick liquid phase. I wanted to add some hominy to my Soup. It gets pretty soft in the broth and I could chew it a lot in my mouth before swallowing. Do you think it is too soon? Or would upset my stomach? I would only have a small amount.

I am on the fence on this one.

Well... I don't know what Dr Aceves says but I'm pretty sure my doc would say liquid only. You could stick it in the blender.

Grits are ground hominy... I chewed until it was liquid and had no problems. When I was on full liquids I ate very thin grits. But that is me.. You should check with your doc :)) good luck!

Thanks. :-)

I decided not to have the homily. I am just going to wait and follow the diet as instructed. Why risk it. I have plenty of time for hominy later on. For now my stomach is learning how to take its first few steps just as a baby would. I wouldn't expect a newborn to go from taking a step to suddenly running a 5k, so why would I expect my stomach to be that way. It needs time to get used to the new foods and digesting them.

good call. I hope I'm that reasonable when I'm tempted

      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?
