Today my liquid diet begins. I am praying to God that I am strong enough to get through this. Had my last class and appointment yesterday. I am drained and overwhelmed with everything but I know that I an going to need support. This is going to be a process!

I'm still waiting on insurance approval (submitted last Thursday). Out of everything, I know the liquid preop diet is going to be the most challenging! Stay positive and remember this is just a temporary phase to get to our healthier lives! You can do it! :)

I am on day 8 of my liquid diet. U can do it! Day four was rough for me cuz every one had a cook out but stayed strong. I am hoping to be sleeved July 10th but also awaiting insurance final approval they needed a letter from my surgeon stating I had been well educated.

Hi, I started my liquid diet Sunday, today was ok, but missed the BBQ ribs, lol. The think that I have noticed is that my husband is eating things that he normally does not eat, that started day 1 and the tv commericals for food are HORRIBLE! I did not realize there where so many. When is your surgery date, mine is the 16th!

Hang in there! You are doing this to be a healthier you! Try to stay busy so you don't think about it! Maybe you can organize or clean out some closets! That is going to be my plan! :)

      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?
