Hi everyone! Just wanted to check in and ask a few questions. I am feeling pretty good (surprisingly better than I thought), but I am hungry. I am starting each day with a Protein Shake. Does anyone try non-pureed food at this point? Also, I have been walking a lot. Is it too much to walk two miles each night being so soon after surgery?

I've heard that if you're always hungry, you might need to try an anti-acid. You're most likely not feeling hunger, but you have alot of acid.

Follow your Dr's plan as far as food. That promotes healing so you don't want to deviate too much from that.

If you feel comfortable walking that much, good for you. Just don't push it too much too fast. Keep walking, that's great for your recovery.

Keep on walking but don't go doing crunches and ab exercises cos the incisions are still fresh. The walking is good and will help a lot.

      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?
