I get to start on Tuesday. I love fish & costco has a really large selection of good quality frozen fish. I had my husband just go down the line and get me a box of each. So i have tilapia w pesto, salmon in a sauce, mahi mahi, all kinds of goodie. They are each individually wrapped so i take one out and defrost in frig overnight or run the bag under cold Water for a few minutes. The fish can be grilled, mircowaved, pan fried or baked, so it really creates quite a variety.

Of course, we spent a couple $100, but i figure each fish serving will feed me at least twice, so i'm set for awhile!

And we also got eggs, cheeses, refried Beans, denser Soups, tuna, cans of crab, cans of salmon, and some frozen veggies. So I think I'm good for awhile.

My first meal is going to be an omelete with cheese & maybe refried beans. The size I used to make will prob feed me for a week! I just realized i'll need to figure out a whole new way to cook. This is such a new & exciting time!!

My first meal was a one egg omelette with sharp cheese - think I made it through about 1/4th of it and was stuffed to the gils and in heaven lol. Ate lots of eggs, cottage cheese, greek yogurt, refried Beans, chicken, tuna, and eggs salad - chopped very fine. chicken in the crock pot is nice as it stays very moist. another favorite is a slice of avocado wrapped in a bit of deli turkey - delish!

Sometimes when I get tired of eating the same old thing I will pick up some lean cuisines or Smart ones frozen dinners (only the ones with meat and vegetables - i dont do rice, Pasta, or much in the way of potatoes during this phase of my life - maybe when i get to goal) One of those dinners can last me 3-4 meals dpeneding on what it is. Same thing with a can of refired beans - 4-5 meals.

I loooove Soup but it can be a bit sliderish for me - as can the beans once I got onto dense solids. The three turkey meatball dinner (add salsa or condiment of your choice) leaves me packed to the gills. I still do Protein Soups, shakes - love string cheese and bonbels - we go through a lot of those around our house, and canadian bacon.

      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?
