Eating in new situations post op



Recommended Posts

Yesterday the husband and I went on day trip to a lake community and I really did not sweat the eating thing. For lunch I had Turkey Chef salad, no problems finding something healthy on any menu. Well then he decides he wants to go on a lake cruise, of course then only left a time we could make was a ice cream social trip. I contemplated the whole thing for a bit and decided what the hell instead of saying no entirely I took the ice cream sunday. I am proud to say I had about 8 bites and just pushed it away! I was full enough from my good lunch and had no desire what so ever in devouring ice cream like I would have in the past.

Then hours later the husband wanted to go to dinner and I do not if it was the ice cream or the hot day or what but I was not hungry at all. I played along and went with him for the atmosphere ( JImmy Buffett place) and he ordered the WOST possible choices, nachos and friend mushrooms. So i ended up eating 2 small mushrooms and 3 chips that had some beef on them.

I just decided to not beat myself off over the bad stuff, every one needs to be bad once in a while,,, it has been over a year for me since I ate anything "bad" and the scale this morning was just fine!

Now will I continue to such "bad" things,,, not at all, it will have to be a circumstance like yesterday,,, my point is you can still be bad here and there and not undo your diet!

      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?
