Hi I have a shower Sunday which Monday marks 2 weeks post op. Does anyone have any suggestions for me on soft foods I can eat there? Also, when, or is it ever safe to eat popcorn?

You could have bean dip with sour cream and guacamole, or take a baked ricotta cheese bake! @@brandeett

popcorn is way down the road. I would say at least a few months. You can't take the chance of a kernel getting lodged in the staple line along your new sleeve.

There is no nutritional value to popcorn, anyway. You need nutrient rich foods the first few months to keep that muscle you'll be losing along with the weight.

I would take a Protein Shake with me and eat before I went. Don't be tempted by cake or bread! Make sure you are not hungry when you go...I was sleeved mid Oct and went to a Halloween party, they had Hawaiian bread with spinach dip that I LOVED, I ate 2 pieces and it was horribly uncomfortable! That did not go down well at all! I tell you the one good thing, that feeling kept me far away from bread! I never eat bread, LOL. The sweets will not sit well in your tender stomach either...trust me, don't try it.

      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?
