I'm on vaca now and just say I'm good thank you and no one has questioned me. It feels awkward but I have to do it or I may forget and drink :)

Who cares what a waiter thinks

I didn't leave her the same amount of tip I would usually leave. She was lacking in all areas of service.

I wasn't exactly complaining about her reaction, just asking what others have experienced.

To the people who can drink right up until you eat, I don't know how I'd feel if Isis that, haven't tried it. My doctor has recommended to stop drinking 30 minutes prior to eating and then wait 45 minutes after.

They all say something different. Mine is 15 mins prior, 20-30 mins to eat, 30 mins after .....

Your NUT wasn't Katie at Forest Park, was she? :lol:

(That's exactly what she told me and so far she's been right)

Yep. Nice younger girl. She makes a lot of sense to me. They just seem to be able to keep it real.

While it is different now that I am sleeved, I can still order in most any restaurant. I have traveled a good deal since surgery (4 months now) and I am finding it increasing easy to find good things to eat. (and drink) I was really nervous at first but now it just seems normal. I think my very supportive husband has been more concerned that there is something for me when we go out. LOL!

So we are in Pensacola this week for vacation' date=' which means eating out way more than we would otherwise.

I do not order anything to drink when we go out because I am there to eat and can't do both at the same time.

Well I am wondering, what kind of reactions do you guys get when you don't order a drink?

Last night our waitress asked for our drink order and I politely said nothing for me thank you. She then responded by saying "not even Water? What about tea or lemonade? Or do you want a diet coke?" When I told her again no thank you ill have nothing to drink, she rolled her eyes at me and made a rude face.

I had the same thing happen so now I get a Water and move it away from me. I'd prefer not to have any liquid near me because I grab it without thinking. I am doing better with that.

I learned a lot from her - I don't regret those sessions a bit.

      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?
