So I was out and about today and wanted a little pick me so I got a small diet lemonade from Chick-fil-A. NEVER AGAIN! I drank maybe 1/3 of it and the pain was so excruciating I thought I saw Jesus. It burned, it hurt, I got the shakes. All I could do was sit in the car cry. But other than that I am doing great ;)

Today's lesson: Just say no to lemonade!

What caused the pain? I thought diets drinks were ok.

I have drank Chick Filet Diet lemonade within 5 days of surgery on a few occasions, never had an issue with it ...at all. Guess everyone is just different.

@Almostthere we can. I think for me it may have been the acid. That's just my guess.

@allies - jealous. Maybe I'll give it a couple weeks and try again.

Well I am glad you are ok. You jus reminded me I need to pick up some prilosec before Fridays surgery. Good luck with the remainder of your recovery.

      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?
