So what type of food are you eating? I am cleared to eat Protein but I believe I am getting bored. Today I picked up some honey walnut shrimp and immediately got sick. I know better but it sounded so good.

Maybe the honey did it? Or nuts? I can't have nuts till six months out. I can eat shrimp just fine - I have it w/just a little cocktail sauce.

I am sure it had too much sugar. I have become very sensitive to sugar. Anything over one gram and I will get sick. I did not eat the walnuts just the shrimp. And I really craved this dish. But it was not as good as what I remembered and I will not make that mistake again. Being one month out, I still have a lot to learn.

Before my surgery, when I was going through my "last supper" phase, I found the same thing - nothing tasted as good as I anticipated. I try to keep that in mind if something is tempting me. That and the fact that I could get sick. :-p

Honey walnut shrimp has sweetened condensed milk and mayo in it for the sauce. It might haven both fat and sugar.

I know the feeling. A lot of the foods that I loved taste nasty or different and I don't enjoy them but everyday is different.it all depends on what my pouch wants (she runs the show, I've named it a fickle B**** until I can think of a new name). I tolerate moist boneless skinless chi breast and moist baked fish an moist ground turkey really well but I have to chew 35 times or more but I can't complain. Certain smells make me nauseous but I take my medicine to ward off getting sick. Try the foods u don't like at a later date because our taste buds change almost daily,

      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?
