I was on all liquids. I didn't have to do Clear Liquids. My man restriction was no thicker than a milk shake. I made my own shakes with Protein Powder & greek yogurt plus add ins like nut butter or spinach so yeah I was full on all liquids.

I was fine on full liquids, after weeks of clear liquids I was in heaven! I was not satisfied (full feeling) until I started pureed and soft solids. That was a game changer!

I could only get small amounts of liquids down for the first week or so. When he switched me to full liquids, yogurt went down fine, but Water still caused that pressure in my chest....like swallowing a golf ball. Then, just before 2 weeks post-op, it stopped. I can now drink fairly normally. I don't really get hungry, just feel a bit "empty" in the morning. The full feeling I get now (am on soft foods) is different than before surgery. It is almost painful. I can eat about 4oz. Before surgery, if I felt full and there was a small amount left on my plate, I would finish it. That isn't an option now. When I'm full....that's it....done.

      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?
