I am allowed to have pureed food. But I am even having trouble with Jello. I will call my doctor if it doesn't improve. But, I don't think it is dumping - more like the flu.

Having diarrhea is pretty common in the first two weeks... But if you are feeling ill, as in the flu you should check in with your doctor especially if you are not taking in liquids

Good luck

If you have frequent diarrhea you should make a concerted effort to increase your Fluid intake - and I know this is hard. I drank a lot of strained egg flower Soup in your stage and that was easy to get down. You may even try some Gatorade for the short term. I hope you find relief soon, and do see the doc if you think you have the flu.

Sounds like a stomach bug unrelated to your sleeve. Can you get fluids down? That's the most important.

      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?
