I'm not to actual food stage yet; but, I will be there byValentines Day, and I want to make grilled shrimp skewers.

How did y'all do with shrimp after surgery? Did it go down ok?

I was able to eat shrimp....at first only 1. Now I'm able to get down 3-4 jumbo and feel full. There is actually this shrimp cocktail Soup at the Mexican restaurant near my house that is incredible.

I tried shrimp for the 1st time when I was 4 weeks post-op, and they went down fine.

My first "hankering" was for shrimp. I'm on mushy, chew like there's no tomorrow, soft foods. So last night I ate 4-5 med sized boiled shrimp. They were wonderful and not painful.

The first time I tried them I ate too fast and had pain. Been fine ever since. Just take it slow.

I think I had shrimp around 8 weeks out. I was able to eat 2 jumbos. Now I can eat 4 big shrimp or 6 med sometimes not even that as shrimp tend to stuff me.

I only do steamed, bbq, or broiled. I particularly like them bbq'd over cedar, pecan, or apple woods. I used to love sweet grilling sauce but stay away due to sugar. Like red meat and chicken, I have to eat it slowly. Otherwise my sleeve will get angry and turn against me. Lol!

      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?
