So I was 13 days post-op on Easter. Since I knew that I would be starting my mushy diet the next day, I decided to fix myself a plate and eat dinner with the rest of my family. I had a teaspoon of mashed potatoes, a teaspoon of potato casserole, a few pieces of fried okra (I know not a mushy, but I chewed it very well), and a nibble of a deviled egg. Since all that went down good, I decided to try a very small small nibble of ham. I chewed that until there was nothing left. I did feel myself get full. I know it was alot of carbs, but dang it, it was a holiday! At least that's what I keep telling myself. Anyways, fast forward to yesterday, Monday. I had horrible diarrhea. I mean it was one of those DO NOT TRUST YOUR FARTS kind of day. I didn't cramp and it didn't hurt. But I would hear very strange noises and then feel the rumble and the pressure, and I just knew I had to run to the bathroom. Sometimes it wasn't diarrhea, just very explosive gas, other times it was pure Water. Could this have been due to my carb binge?

      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.
