I don't eat it often, but I am only 8 weeks out and have yet to have an issue with any sort of bread.< /p>

I have turned to Jimmy John's Un-which. Turkey, cheese, Tomato and onion wrapped in lettuce. Super yummy.

Try getting sandwiches low carb (without the bread wrapped in lettuce instead). I am finding alot of restaurants will do this if you just ask. You don't want to fill up on bread and Buns, and you need to concentrate on Protein first. Also if only 8 weeks out, I would recommend that if you must have bread, you should have it toasted, because bread has the tendency to swell and expand and your stomach is so small, cannot handle alot of that. i was not allowed any bread until 12 weeks which is the time your stomach should be completely healed. However, I find I don't even want it anymore. Had an In n Out protein burger yesterday (no bun, wrapped in lettuce) and it tasted just as good to me as the one my husband had with all the carbs and calories form the bun. This is one of the eating habit changes I have made. LUV my sleeve.

Same issue with bread for me. I don't get my Protein in if I eat a sand which. The bread gets me full too fast. I got the grocery store to shred some lunch meat for me so I eat that with some cheese on top. I even melt the cheese sometimes. It's good and full of protein.

      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?
