9 days Post-Op and I'm feeling pretty good! Went to Whole Foods yesterday and eyed all the healthy things I'm going to eat in 12 days (mushie/soft stage). Yea!! I've never been so happy about mushie/soft food in my life! :)

It's getting easier to prepare dinner for my family and not have "Food Envy." This surgery is doing more than making me healthy, It's also forcing better food and eating habits for my family.

I spent time this morning going through my pantry and getting rid of all the "Fatty-fat" foods. It feels so good to be focused on the goal at hand and also changing the life of other too (my family).

Anyway, I have lost a total of 18 lbs in a little over 3 weeks (2 wk pre-op diet -6 lbs and 9 days fluids -12 lbs). Yea sleeve!! Looking forward to the scale going lower and lower. However, I'm not looking forward to looking like a "Flying Squirrel!" :P

Have a wonderful healthy day, guys!! :D

Haha! Flying Squirrel. Now THAT's funny! I'm so glad you mentioned making better food choices for your family. I have not yet had the surgery, but I'm hoping it will greatly effect the way I feed my kids and husband. Right now, they eat what I eat and if I crave something and eat it, they do too. Ugh.

Congrats on your weight loss!!

      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?
