doing better today... day 3 without morphine was brutal. I was very glad that we ended up staying in the hospital an extra day. I needed to be close to a bathroom all day. Happily the south end of things is behaving a lot better now.

We are both home now and were released from the hospital yesterday afternoon. Now we are doing our best to follow the doctor's orders. It is hard to get in the recommended amount of Protein. I am adding it to anything I can find ahah. We are on the full liquid diet now so at least there is a little cream of wheat in there and yogurt. It is just a matter of getting in the fluids. I am finding it a bit of a challenge but hanging in.

Last night I was up in the middle of the night for more pain medicine and antinausea meds. I am really thankful that I have them!!

Just wanted to pop in and let you know how we are. This was a huge step and I am dealing with my decision in as positive a way as I can. I assume I will feel differently as time goes by. :001_wub:

keeping my chin up!

Congratulations. You'll be the incredible shrinking diva soon. You might look out of place in Tristan und Isolde, but I never liked Wagner anyway. Perhaps if I drive up to Phoenix and go to the opera, I will see you. I will look for the skinny opera singer.

Best of luck on this journey. AZ summers are much nicer with the sleeve.

Thank you for all of the support guys!! Today I had a few moments where I felt normal haha... Things are moving along I am trying to have patience with myself and take it easy. I am feeling very fortunate that I had some sick time saved and can have a few weeks to recover before going back to work. The cats love this idea by the way!! Lol. ; D

      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?
