2 weeks out - first day on soft foods!



Recommended Posts

I am officially two weeks post-op as of today! I've never been so excited to eat scrambled eggs, and currently working on some chili (mostly the juice and a couple beans).

What I'm having trouble with so far is knowing when I'm full - simply because I'm not hungry even when I start to eat.

I ate about half an egg and stopped this morning because I was afraid of being miserable. I've eaten maybe an 8th a cup of chili and could keep going, (remember I'm not necessarily hungry and wasn't to begin with) to try to get in more calories and Protein, but then again I feel like I should stop to avoid misery.

Has anyone else had trouble knowing they are full without getting to that over-stuffed painful feeling? It's so weird to not be hungry!

I had my surgery on 8/6/2013, I am still rarely hungry and when I eat it is a couple spoons and full. I do not over due it, or I feel sick. It is so awesome though, to not eat plates of food. I start with my Protein and if I have room for veggies I eat some, but get so full fast. I eat 4-5 small meals a day, including snack like 8 almonds, or cheese stick.

      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?
