I finally got my surgery!!! I got through the pre op diet which was miserable. But I did it thanks to you guys who supported me. So I wanted to say thank you to everyone on here. Also it has been ten days since my surgery which has gone by SO fast. I can't believe it. But the problem is I miss chewing and the taste of food, because I am still on all liquids. Does anyone have any advice about getting through these few more days until I can eat.

Wish I could offer advice, but be thankful you are almost ready to begin the next phase. So glad you are doing well. Chewing will be your main goal for the rest of your life. I marvel at how little I actually did chew my food because now that's all I do. Keep us updated on your progress!

So glad you had your surgery and you are doing well. For the chewing you might try ice chips or sugar free Popsicles That may help the sensation you are missing.

Keep those liquids going that is so very important right now.

Wishing you the best.

      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.
