I am glad to hear that! I am having a little bit harder of a time than I thought. I have to make my kids food all day and its hard to be in the kitchen right now ! I know it will get better I am just trying to stay as busy as possible!

Yes, I've been cooking meals here and there too. The first few days was the hardest because I wanted to taste what I was cooking, but after that it's gotten better. My boyfriend has been helping with the cooking duties too which helps a great deal. I'm able to have one salad a day so I save that salad for dinner so I can eat/chew something as the rest of the family eats.

      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?
