Well I'm 4 days post op and doing well. The pain is only sharp when I get up or sit down but definitely manageable. The food thing is weird! I'm only drinking Liquid Protein, broth and sugar free Jello. It's very strange because when I see other people eat around me I feel like I want a bite but I know it will hurt me if do. So maybe that's how the sleeve surgery works, if you eat anything your not supposed to your body will kick your ass for it! It's very strange to feel mentally hungry but not physically hungry. I guess this will take time to get used to. I'm looking forward to the next phase where I can have yogurt and cottage cheese.< /p>

Congratulations on your decision. Every day is another great reason to Celebrate. I think I was in shock at first and was still trying to wrap my head around this major decision. I bit something about 3 or 4 days ago and realized it was a very dumb mistake. It felt like it took 2 hours to digest. I am 2.5 weeks out. I rarely have pain, maybe a muscle ache here and there. The ironic thing I found is sugary stuff has absolutely no appeal for me. I am very happy about that. Congratulations and good luck.

I am two days out if you don’t the surgery day and I am finding it hard to know what is to much and am eating very little. I don’t have an appetite yet and hope that stays away for a while. Best of luck to you on your journey.

      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?
