Surgery Nov. 18 - the holidays



Recommended Posts

For those of you that survived the holidays last year, how did you do it? I will literally be on liquids for Thanksgiving. Not too concerned about that. But Christmas I'll be on soft foods and won't be at my house. I'm curious how you guys dealt with this.

I was afraid of being on such a restricted diet for the holidays so I did what I could to insure I would be able to eat soft foods. I hope there is some insight for you.

You will be fine during the holidays. You just have to plan ahead of time what to eat instead and be creative about it. You might think it will be difficult but when the holidays come around, you will actually find out that just looking at some of the food makes you sick not to talk of eating them. Good luck and God bless.

      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.
