How bad is the hunger?



Recommended Posts

My date is June 8th as well. I gave up caffeine as well as pop(soda) back in November as well as stopped drinking with meals. My surgery was postponed back in march when they discovered I had type 2 diabetes but have since gotten my sugars under control and have been put on a cancellation list. So hoping I get a call sooner than June 8th. I'm ready now!! Good luck and keep reading these post on here. I find it very comforting as people seem to be very open and honest about the good and the bad experiences they have had so I feel very prepared.

Mussels!??? The seafood?

Yup. Though I mistakenly said "in water", they're marinated in some sort of acidic broth, probably lemon or vinegar; you can scoop out a few spoonfuls, add some of the liquid they come in then add some Tomato paste or ketchup and you have yourself a mini-cocktail. They're soft, so they're easy to chew/digest and provide good Protein. :)

Not at all, they have their own distinct taste and they're very soft to boot.

      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?
