So here I am thinking I was going to be tough 3 weeks and try chewing tender chicken and broccoli. I am sooooo uncomfortable. Although I brought it back up, I feel as if its still there. I will be grinding it up to enjoy the flavor...... Ughhh :-/

I was going to say 3 weeks is way too soon for solid foods like that unless your surgeon/bariatric center said it was ok. The last thing you want to do at this time is have to throw up. You want to make sure your stitches, staples, incisions are healing up ok inside before taking on the solids. Blending foods will help make them into the mushy stage that you're probably on. I can't tell by your post if you just threw up today or not but, don't be surprised if it's harder to eat for a few days. Throwing up sometimes will make your pouch swell and feel as if it can't take in as much. I know that happened to me when I threw something up. I had to switch back to liquids/protein shakes for a few days after. Good luck and I hope you're feeling better.

      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?
