I Dont Feel Any Different



Recommended Posts

I had my surgery on 4/23 and I was discharged on 4/25 eating puréed food already. I read so many posts however that most people stay on just liquids for weeks. I guess every surgeon has a different plan. Anybody else eating so soon after? I definitely didn't desire ANY food until yesterday. Now I'm hungry all day and I want to eat a pizza :). The thought of pureeig a pizza makes me not want one so fast!!!

I was on full liquids by day 3 and mushies by day 10. I am still on mushies, but truthfully, a whole lot of things are mushy when you chew them very very well. I go back to regular foods a little more than 6 weeks after surgery, so for me I get to eat some darn peanuts again on the 18th of May. The main purpose is to allow your stomach to heal and help you not hurt yourself. I have had no issues with this diet (except I want a salad more than I can describe).

So how long before you can have relations with the spouse? I had my sleeve done monday

We tried about a week an a half out, it was too soon. The movement made the muscles in my stomach very sore. Tried again a few days later, but I had to keep my tummy from moving too much for about 2 weeks! I think everyone will be different but the muscle healing process should be similar. NOW THAT is TMI, but I hope it helps!

      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?
