Well, the soreness is going away little by little and so is the gas. I am having a terrible time getting much Protein and I have felt good til this afternoon, I feel really weak and tired. I have lost 17 lbs to date and I haven't felt hungry at all. I have head hunger today because I feel weak I guess. Right now I am trying to drink a glass of Isopure and it doesn't taste bad, but the feeling it leaves in my mouth is strange, kinda hard to handle. I can't wait to start back on my Protein Shakes Wednesday.

Congrats on your new journey!!

You taste buds change after surgery. At this point focus on fluids. Last thing you want is to get dehydrated.

Loss of hunger. I found that to be the case too. It wasn't hard to lose weight when the beast called hunger was not constantly knocking on your door.

During the first few months after surgery, most foods loss their taste. But then your taste buds change.

      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?
