That's awesome that we have the same surgeon. I'm still recovering and only on liquids but at least I can keep most my liquids down now lol. When did you have surgery?

I'm hungry too! I started on the shakes today because I was so shaky and weak. I feel 100% better. I also read that our stomach is shaped like a funnel, and that when we drink our nutrition it basically passes thru pretty quickly, but once we start eating preed food it will stay in our stomach longer waiting to fit thru the funnel, which will keep us full longer. I got a little worried about feeling hungry also, but since I hadn't had any real nutrition in 10 days (clear liquids 3 days preop and 7 days post op) I think my survival mode kicked in! Hopefully when actual food is introduced the hunger will go away...

My hunger subsided once I was able to hold liquids down. Now I barely feel hungry but in dying to get out of the liquid phase

      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?
