Recommended Posts

Day eight for me. Still spend a lot of time in the recliner. Per doctor's orders, a minimum of 64 oz liquid and 100 grams Protein. Walk the block several times a day. Even drove the car for a spell today. Dying for pureed foods but that is another three weeks away.

One week post op I was in my recliner asleep. I came home with a sleeve' date=' an umbilical hernia and a severely sprained neck. I was still on T3 and major muscle relaxers. I slept several times a day AND all night. I didn't start to really become coherent till the middle or end of the second week... 3 weeks out and my neck is still sore and so is the repaired hernia, which I JUST strained catching myself from a fall this morning. UGH! :0)[/quote']

I had a really sore neck too!! So did another girl I met in the hospital. She went to her chiro on day 4 for it. I wonder what they did to us lol

I'm 10 days post op..started purée foods 2 day ago. I can only eat about 5-6 teaspoons at the most and I'm full. Definitely getting my liquids in. I feel awesome and I love how I can see the difference in my clothes already. Best decision I could have made.

I am day 20 and I still have 10 more days to go on full liquids. I can't wait until I can have puréed foods. Ricotta cheese, cottage cheese and mashed potatoes never looked so good!

Funny story:

The day I got home from surgery, I went to "breakfast" with my brother and dad. They had the special: eggs, potatoes, bagel, coffee - $5.49.

I ordered chicken broth and hot Decaf tea. They charged me for "soup" $3.99 and $1.99 for the tea.

You do the math...

      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?
