The best thing you can do is to call your doctor and tell them what happened. Your doctor is in the best position to help you deal with the aftereffects of what's been done or (more likely, perhaps) help you through your present discomfort and give you peace of mind.

You're brave! Haha I wanted food so bad and the hunger pains were uncontrollable. I stuck to an all liquid diet for about 3 weeks but around 2 weeks I made the mistake of getting too comfortable and ate a piece of string cheese. Just literally, ONE bite off of it and chewed it really good. I had a huge rock/knot feeling in my stomach all night and in the morning, I was really nauseous. I could barely drink for about 2 days. My best advice is to wait 24 to 48 hours and go to all liquids (sip slowly) and if that doesn't resolve it, phone your doctor.

      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.
