So today I tried to eat very mushy tuna. Apparently I ate to fast or to much and had it get stuck. OMG it was so painful! I was bent over trying to walk it off it took for ever. Had what I think is called the foamies. Yuk! Lessened learned.

I tried ground turkey baked in the oven, about 3 Oz worth. I covered it in Turkey gravy to try and make sure it was moist and chewed the fool out of it but I guess my new stomach isn't quite ready for it yet. I have a pain on my left side but can swallow liquids pretty good. Anyone know how long it usually takes to pass it or have any pointers for helping it go through?

Slow down your eating and take really small bites. I downloaded an app on my cell phone called "slow eater" and it has a timer for one to up to three minute intervals between bites. It really helped me slow down. The app is free, that may work for you too.

It really is about slowing down and chewing so well. I know that is hard to do but you will learn very quickly if you don't.

Good luck!

      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?
