Get ready as once I had my first, they haven't stopped coming (had my first about 28 hours post surgery). They are total liquid and smell horrific but at list my system is functioning, right? I'm 3 days post op so just a day behind you. :)

Im also 4 days post op. I have had one basically after every time that I have Soup or anything other than water!!! Did your doctor say it was ok to have oatmeal? It is on my list for full liquids to begin today and I made it runny, but am now worried I was suppose to like puree the oats.......Do either of you have any thoughts? I had an oz of oats and Water and felt very full very fast, very different from solid liquids. I hope I did not hurt my sleeve.....Just confused!!

Watery oatmeal is on my week 2 list. My doc didn't say it needed to be puréed. If your doc said it was ok and you didn't have a bad reaction, then you should be fine but call him/her if you have doubts. Can't wait until I can have something other than liquids. Should be able to more stuff Friday!!!

      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.
