The first few days are definitely the worst. I too have been getting a nightly headache, but you must remember the PRIZE at the end of this! Just keep right on doing it - this is only for a short time!!

Honestly, the first three days of the pre-op diet were really hard for me. I turned a corner on Day 4 and 5 and it was (relatively) easy from there on out. It's such a huge adjustment - mentally and physically.

Take good care of yourself and know that it WILL get easier. I promise! I always say that the pre-op diet was the hardest part of my entire weight loss experience! It's so much easier after you are sleeved and you have that powerful tool to combat hunger. For now, you gotta tough it out without the sleeve.

Take it a day at a time (or maybe an hour or even minute at a time if you need to). You will get through this and you'll be sleeved before you know it. Congrats on your upcoming surgery! I hope you love your sleeve as much as I love mine!

      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?
