First day of soft foods - and I over ate!



Recommended Posts

The NUT wasn't kidding when she said my new pouch could only handle 2-4 ounces. After three weeks of liquids and Protein Shakes, I had my favorite meal - steamed blue crab (I'm from Maryland). I had four ounces and it was too much! I felt some still in my esophagus! But it was delicious and I feel close to normal human being now. I just know to only do 2-3 ounces for a bit!

Yep! I am still only able to handle 2-2.5 oz of solids. 3oz will make me slime and feel ill. I measure pretty much everything solid to avoid it.

Yes, I fill up quickly and need to be mindful of what is going on inside while I eat- brings me back to one of my original problems- lol.

I think also, after liquids, soft foods are a different experience and need to be learned. I am re-learning everything now and you know what? I'm loving it!

I'm not allowed crab for 2 weeks yet but you have definitely planted a seed. I'm glad you enjoyed it.

It is a learning process.

I started measuring everything out too. I find four ounces is too much, so I try to stick to three. I'm getting there!

      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?
