I had surgery on Weds 3/27 and stopped taking the pain meds on Sun 3/31. Each day after that I was feeling a little bit better. Now a little over a week out and I'm starting to feel like myself again. The first week is the hardest but you'll start feeling better soon, hang in there! : >)

Every day it will get better. The first two weeks were rough. I was on liquids and felt yucky. After 14 days, I saw surgeon, stitches out diet upgrades to soft food so I felt much better. By a month out I felt awesome. Just remember you had MAJOR surgery so it is common to be tired, sore and all that other stuff. Just follow your surgeons orders and you will do fine

My surgery was Wednesday and my Doctor told me to start on soft foods. They even gave me soft foods yesterday in the hospital. I'm not eating them because I am a little scared. I really am trying to concentrate on liquids. I am going to have a hard time getting the liquids in. What are you all eating?

It will all come together. I am a little over 10 weeks out and eating regular foods. I get all my liquids in and then some. I still don't have much of an appetite so eating is sporadic and I still use Protein drinks to make sure I get all my Protein in. Initially, I couldn't imagine how in the heck it was all gonna work because I could hardly drink-but it will... :D

My nut sent me home with stuff to eat like grits and refried Beans and yogurt...so I don't know. There are so many different ideas of what to do. She also never mentioned Protein supplements.< /p>

      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?
