Most embarassing moment so far

I went 15 days total without making a poodle. Don't worry about Protein for your first week or two, just keep yourself hydrated. If you can get down a vanilla greek yogurt, that's great if you can't handle the shakes. The first week is the worst but it does get better. Just keep in mind that as long as you are on all liquids, een full liquids like Soups, your poops will most likely be puddles.

Buy flushable baby wipes, too. Your bum will thank you.

At least you are in good company! :) I had that happen the evening I got home from surgery. My tummy started gurgling and I didn't make it to the bathroom! I'm 8 weeks out and it's gotten better, but I still have times when I'm running to the bathroom after eating. I also had my gallbladder out 5 weeks ago so I thought it was related to that but who knows. It's not fun! It's like severe IBS - aweful.

I agree that you have an awesome guy to help you. My hubby helped me too as I was crying and mortified:) Oh well, **** happens!

I think this happens to almost everyone! My PA basically told us to expect it in pre-op. Mine started just as I was leaving the hospital (surgery on a Tuesday, left Thursday evening). It lasted for 2 weeks, which the PA also said to expect. I also carried spare clothes in my car for a while, just in case. Didn't need them but it was a good sense of security.

      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?
