This is EXACTLY what I am feeling... 5 weeks post op today and I could absolutely graze on food all day b/c when I do eat solids, I feel "full"/tight long before my body says it has had enough nutrition! I'm struggling with this a lot b/c it's making me want to eat snack foods... I use MyFitnessPal religiously, I am able to eat some moist dense Proteins, and I get my Protein in each day. I DO notice that after I eat solids, I don't want to DRINK for a LONG time and maybe if I could get my fluids up, I wouldn't feel hungry. I always feel like I am on a sugar "low" and fluids really bother my stomach, especially plain Water. I do take a prescription acid reducer each day, but I just have to learn how to set up a daily eating routine that works for me... thanks for all the good advice here!

If plain Water bothers you post-op (does for me) try either MiO or Crystal Light. I could not do CL as it is too sweet now, but MiO can be slowly brought up to taste. It has been my life saver as plain water just won't go down.

I too have a problem with plain Water. Since artificial sweeteners bother me I add lemon to my water and that's how I drink it. Just another option.

      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?
