It's been one week since my surgery and counting Pre op diet I have lost 22 pounds! I know for a fact I was/am addicted to food. The only thing I can think about is eating! I want real food so bad. However I am on liquids for 3 more weeks I don't know how I will make it lol. I am hoping it gets easier!

Awesome! My post op diet was two weeks liquids, two weeks mushies, then all solids. I was so happy to see food. It's tough, not going to lie. I remember at week two, my hubbie brought home a B-B-Q chicken wing and i actually licked it to death.. LOL, that was pretty low for me!

I get it. Today is my one week surgiversary as well. I'll admit I've thought about the chew & spit option. So far I have resisted :-) After the pre-op diet, I've found even cream of wheat tastes fabulous. I'm definitely craving something solid though.

Yes it is easier now that I am 17 days out. My surgeon doesn't let me do cream of wheat or yogurt or Soups or anything. Full liquids to him is Protein shakes and Water and broth...it would be easier if I could have Soups

      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?
