I am eating healthier and I only desire good carbs and high Protein foods. This is a great improvement for me, because protein was not my thing prior to surgery. Also, I had family visit yesterday, and they questioned me about my age, they wanted to be sure, I said 42. They said you look really good, I looking even younger since surgery. Loving my sleeve, can eat but just enough, feels good.

I don't know about looking younger, but I FEEL younger and I am frankly eating like a gourmet. lunch today brought from home is teriaki sesame salmon on a bed of quinoa with onions and peppers, spinach with balsamic vinaigrette and some lemon protein cake (recipe from eggface).

Hi, that sound so good, normally any type of fish wood make me gag. I am enjoying fish now.

Alaskan Cod Fish is about the only fish I have found that is palettable and I bought 25 lbs on Friday and have begun to introduce it to my family...Husband and boy are loving it we eat it once a week now. The daughter she prefers to eat the sides during that evenings dinner, as we do not allow making of 2 dinners to accomodate one person who does not "like" what we are having.

Cod is a really mild whitefish. I have always found salmon to be extremely "fishy" tasting, but my tastes are changing. I've always liked cold smoked lox, but cooked salmon was always a little weird. I still have to have it barbequed or baked with a well done glaze. I like ahi tuna raw.

My dad cannot tolerate fish in ANY form. He can't even look at it or smell it. This will play havoc when we go out for Easter. I am ordering two appetizers: seared ahi sashimi and asparagus in philo. He's going to complain at me, but good ahi doesn't have much smell so it will be his imagination.

I'll sit at the other end of the table and maybe he won't notice.

I like haddock and luckily my husband does as well. I expect to eat a bit of that during the soft stage.

Looking younger is always awesome!! I'm loving fish now too. Salmon and tilapia are staples, along with pre-cooked frozen shrimp. I'll make a stir fry of one or the other and chow down.

      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?
