I've been enjoying the heck out of popping pop corn at home. I've been using canola oil (I know, I know, oil, but at least it's been one of the healthier oils) to pop. But I but an electric air popper this past weekend. So, I can make it healthy. Looking forward to using it soon.

I was like you 2much fun, I love popcorn! I am 21 days since I had surgery!! I am just starting to eat OK! but I miss popcorn LOL I also really miss drinking with a straw, I used a straw for every drink, I feel like I am learning how to drink again out of a cup I feel I sometimes gulp and create gas, I wonder if I would not be better off with a straw again! Feeling great, and looking forward to the journey!!

Many doctors don't want us using straws. Something about swallowing too much air. I don't use a straw but when I do I don't notice any difference in trapped air?

My daughter is a germ-a-phobe and refuses to drink without a straw unless it's bottled Water.

I had epidural cortisone injections in my back not to long ago & after I came to in recovery ,they asked me if I wanted some juice ,not thinking I of course thought I would just have 2 sips ,well they put a straw in it & remember I wasn't thinking I haven't drank through a straw in 2 yrs, well I took 2 sips & had to ask for a spit bucket ,because the stuck,air,slime episode happened ,I won't do that again, I hope.

      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?
