My favorite soft foods meal was meatballs with homemade sauce. I seasoned the meatball the way I always do: salt, pepper, lots of fresh garlic, parsley, egg, parmesan cheese, a little bit of bread crumbs. I also let my sauce simmer for a long time in order to get the most flavor. I would measure the meatballs to be exactly 1 oz. I would also just make sure that I could mash the meatballs with a fork and douse it with sauce. It was the best thing for me at that time! It was packed with Protein and easy on my stomach. Also, some people make a ricotta bake. Which is ricotta cheese with sauce and baked in the oven for a few minutes.

Is the "pre op" a mistake? Did u mean post op? I dreamed about my first soft food for 4 wks (I live with the food nazi and I knew he'd tattle on me to my dr if I cheated even 1 day early). Went grocery shopping and had everything I needed for the big event. I microwaved 1/4 cup refried Beans topped with a pinch of shredded sharp cheddar, taco sauce with a little dollup of sour cream. Best thing Id ever eaten.

The following 4 wks I ate alot of eggs, mashed pots, canned tuna and chicken, tilapia, Beans, and cheese. After that 4 wks of aoft foods I enjoyed my 1st salad. Wow. Was it yummy...

      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?
