5 Days Post Op && First Day Without Thinking About Food!



Recommended Posts

Finally! I live in a full house so something's always being cooked or bought for the kiddies. The first day i came home from the hospital mom made some jambalaya and corn and I was just about ready to hang myself (not literally) I didn't know how I was going to make it through the day. The food commercials weren't making it any better. I would wake up each day thinking about the food I'll be able to have in the upcoming months, regardless how small. Needless to say I was sending myself in a mild depression because I missed eating regular food. I thought I was going to always feel that way until this morning. Moms is in the kitchen making Breakfast right now & it's not phasing me one bit. I'm quite proud of myself! I hope I can maintain this attitude!! *fingers crossed*

I know what you went through! Even though I don't feel hunger (yet, or any more!) my mom stayed with me after surgery until this morning. My first few days home, she's making pork roast with gravy, etc. Then 2 days later I wake from a nap smelling my childhood favorite, corn fritters! Really, Mom?!?! I was a little mad because it was my favorite and my girls weren't going to like them-they eat very light. Fried foods, except chicken, doesn't appeal to them. She overheard me tell my sister on the phone that I thought it was kind of insensitive for her to be frying up a batch of fritters, so she went on a cooking strike for a few days (too funny! Like I cared-I was on liquids!-lol!)

      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?
