I'm four weeks post surgery, down almost 20lbs since surgery day. I feel almost normal, it's awesome. I can eat whatever I want (but don't because, seriously, bread & Pasta just fill me up without any protein). I stick to Protein and veg and Protein Shakes.

I can drink Water but only with a LOT of Ice (or it makes me nauseous). I can gulp 3-5 gulps at a time.

Eating is still trial and error... I think I'm not done and then I'm too full and it's uncomfortable.

I quit my antacid pills last week and I haven't needed them.

My energy is normal, I have no pain anywhere.

My total weight lost since 4/8 is almost 30lbs and two ladies in the lunch room noticed today, which was nice :-)

I just thought I'd give a little update to those of you about to have surgery or at the very beginning :-)

I'm at 5 weeks post op down 41 lbs but not doing as good as you are on the food. I used to drink a lot of Water now I can't stand it. Everythi g I eat or drink is making me feel like puking. I know it will get better and yes I love the results so far.

      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?
