Week & a half post and trying new foods... Bad?



Recommended Posts

My stomach really has not had any issues... Is it normal to skip phases? I haven't, but I am already eating mash potatoes, creamy Soups, smoothies and refried beans... Should I stay here or keep trying? Help... Total newbie :P

1. Go to Youtube and watch a gory surgical video on the kind of surgery you had, to remind yourself of how brutalized your stomach is right now.

2. Follow the plan your team gave you.

3. I hope you don't have any complications. Why would you risk it?

4. If you get complications because of rushing the process, here is a hug from Chicago.

I am mostly liquids... Protein drinks and juices. I paid too much to risk it. Just taking tiny bites of different things the last few days. I did find a site called floydbariatrics.org and was looking at their phases and trying things that they suggested to a certain extent... Just curious.. and I am not going to mess this amazing gift of starting over, up :D

      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?
