A pound a day is really good results, I think. I had my sleeve about the same time and I'm seeing similar weight loss. Keep trying foods to find what works for you. I know I was on the phone to my doctor's office just after surgery because the clear liquid diet was not working for me. I couldn't stand the taste of clear Protein Drinks at all, so I was just not eating. They gave me clearance to go ahead and move my diet up because nutrition was more important than a schedule. There are plenty of things out there (Better than Boullion is probably the best tasting broth I've ever had) that do taste delicious. If you think your body wants it, try a little and see how you feel. If you don't have some unflavored Protein Powder, get some. You can put it in to foods you find that you like (just don't cook with it, I made that mistake once and ew >.<). Get creative. I know for a while I was putting Sriracha in tiny amounts of food because I LOVE spicy things and it was just enough to make it taste delicious :D

      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?
