A wise friend who had bypass told me that it's funny; her stomach will tolerate a lot more "junk" than it will healthy food. She got herself going in the wrong direction but quickly righted her ship. What the doctors preach is true in every account: Protein first, Protein first, protein first.

I think the time to really focus is long before the six month mark. This isn't really directed at you, because what is done is done, and you just have to do your best to get back on track, but more for people (like me) who are early in their journey.

I think the first year is the time to retrain your brain while the restriction is at it's best, so when your body adjusts and your are able to eat more, you've broken those carb addictions, or whatever your vice may be. I'm not saying I'm going to be perfect in my first year (hell, I'm only three weeks out), but I have to keep reminding myself that the things I'm "giving up" for now may have a small place back in my diet someday, or (even better!) I may not even crave them any more!

      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?
