I'm 7 weeks out and I enjoy the feeling of restriction. It tells me that I really did have surgery...cause I did wonder if the Dr. did anything for a hot minute. Immediately PostOp I could drink quite a bit so was concerned about the size of my tummy. Now, I can still drink without any problems, but when I take a bite of meat...I'm full after 3 bites. The only time I get frustrated is when I've made something delicious, and it either gets cold because I'm taking really small bites and it's taking me too long or I just want to revert to my poor eating habits from 7 months ago and scarf everything down. I can solve the warming issue by buying a cup warmer. But the wanting to eat for the sake of eating is something that I recognize as unhealthy and work on every meal...because thin people don't agonize over food.< /p>

I'm surprised you are eating any BITES of food one week out. Are you already beyond full liquids?

In any case, the answer is yet. You will definitely be able to eat more than 4 bites of food. I'm 5 months out and can probably eat about 20 small bites of food. Sometimes I eat more than that and regret it, though.

      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?
