I am three weeks out and I'm finding that what I miss more than any specific food is carbonated drinks. Even just seltzer, I'm really missing that.

I'm also really missing sushi

What are you missing the most

(I just finished a Coke Zero and am having sushi for lunch. Shhhh... Don't tell anyone. I used a straw, too.)

I buy riceless sushi -- it's wrapped in thin cucumber instead of seaweed and it's all fish/crab, no rice or rice noodles. YUM!

jealous!

I know I'll be able to have some sushi in another week. Does the soda give you any trouble? how far out are you?

I did NOT drink soda (always diet pre and post op) until my surgeon cleared me. To this date, I stir a bit of the carbonation out and I prefer it over ice to Water it down a bit. I don't drink nearly as much as I used to, maybe a can a day or so and a 2liter lasts well over a week.

It bothers me if I drink it too fast, so I sip it through a straw. If it hurts, I stop. It's just a burp but I prefer not to feel that bloated feeling.

I am almost 2.5 years out.

I am only 10 days out and I miss everything! I'm a huge food addict and am working on freeing myself with this "reset" of my system. I'd kill for some fries with lots of salt and ketchup. Just being real. I won't have them but that is where my head is at right now. The mental transformation I know will be the hardest. Right now I am looking forward to eating some actual food so my body feels a little more satisfied.

Hang in there. Once you starting eating food, you will get full so fast on your Protein and vegetables you won't want anything else. During my first couple of weeks I never felt "full" because of all the nerves in my stomach being cut and just the healing process. But when you start to eat, it's totally different. And you'll find new, healthy foods you love!

      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?
