I think Im doing better than I thought I would. Ive been walking around as much as possible since the day of surgery (aug 6). I cant seem to get all the Water in it literally seems impossible. Everytime I sip I hear it through my body and it even hurts a little going down. My stomach growls and burns but I really dont have an appetite so I ate a light yogurt. Im not going to lie, my family from out of town came over and cooked and I snuck a teaspoon of potato salad mashed it up as much as I could and chewed it as well.. I didnt get sick but felt full and satisfied. I need some options on what to consume besides Protein Shakes to get my Protein in and how can I get all these damn fluids in.. uggh!

2 days further out than you from surgery... Sounds like we're in same boat as far as being tired of liquids. Today, I tried two things that were probably too soon according to the dr. I pureed some tuna, light mayo, and sweet relish earlier. (My directions said I could have tuna after week 2 so I was a little early.) My stomach told me I wasn't ready for it so I won't be doing that again till approval.

Later in the day, I minced up some salsa really fine. I had just a couple teaspoons of it and have to say it was quite good and a good change of pace for flavor. My stomach was fine with it. I think I am going to have my mother make her gazpacho recipe and bring me that on Monday if possible. Of course, I will have her mince the veggies down as much as possible. But, I'm the same way, need something different.

I will also probably have her make some homemade potatoes when she comes and mix something in with them to add flavor. The instant potatoes are getting quite old as well.

      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?
