A little about my journey so far



Recommended Posts

I am 50, starting weigh 254, down to 233 this morning, I just finished week one of my pre op diet, (I had started higher Protein less carbs before my pre op) a week to go my surgery is scheduled for the 23rd.

The first few days on the liquid diet were difficult, now I'm not hungry forcing myself to drink the Protein Shakes(which I order through unjury)

You can add a scoop of Peanut Butter flavor protein to SF chocolate milk when you need something sweet, or a ice and strawberry flavored protein for a smoothie; those are just a couple of my favorites.

During the first few days struggles I'll share a few things that worked for me.

I had made chocolate chip Cookiesfor the grandchildren...the temptation got the best of me I had a very very small bite chewed real good and then spit it out I did that three times and that craving was satisfied, another time I licked a chicken nugget just two licks lol.

Well that's me up to date ;). I'd love to hear more of your stories.

I thought that I was the only one who cheated "a little", my favorite cheat is pizza ! When my wife buy pizza for the kids, I SMELL it, deep breaths of delicious melty pizza, I confess :)

      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?
