When can you have cheese? What is the difference between puréed foods and just chewing until liquified in your mouth? When can you have sugar free ice cream or frozen yogurt?

You can get particles of food in the incision. So you are not supposed to be eating anything with little pieces of anything that could get stuck. That is what I was told. I would eat ice pops so once you are cleared from drinking clear fluids I imagine you could have froyo. But...ice cream in any form is a trap.

Give yourself some limits...Like I promise not to drink Alcohol until month six. I promise not to eat chips or fries until 1 year. Whatever is appropriate for you. Making sure you are in control of the driver's seat is important. The first year you won't have much control, but after a year or two you could easily lose focus since are natural instinct is to over eat.

The difference between puree and chewing is that pureed steak is vile. Chewing steak is delicious.

I agree that you shouldn't even be thinking of having any kind of ice cream or frozen yogurt, I say until you reach goal. It is not a Protein food and you could start on the slippery slope of getting into your old eating habits. Get yourself on the right track and stay there. You can do it.

      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.
