Hi there..

I got sleeved on 7/9 and went home on that wednesday, doing pretty well. I'm not getting a lot of sleep, but how much walking should i be doing noq. I've been up and around my house, even to the grocery store (i didn't drive lol), walking to the mail box.. I want to be as successful as possible in this surgery.. just don't want to be resting on my laurels, per se.

Also, just for the record, this phase 1 diet is super boring. Has anyone tried eating egg drop Soup during this time?

I walked every 2 hours for the first couple of days. Then we hit a heat wave here and I walked 30 minutes in the morning and 30 minutes in the afternoon. I got bored with that and snuck back to the gym (was supposed to wait until a month out). I only do the treadmill for an hour.

The liquid diet does get boring. I did broth with Unjury chicken Soup flavor, Protein Jello, sf popscicles, Water, crystal light. About a week out I was okayed for yogurt, so I had that as well. I'm on purees now and loving the variety.

      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?
