I don’t feel any restriction with the liquids.



Recommended Posts

I am 10 days post op and don’t feel any restriction with the liquids. When do you feel any type of restriction?

I am getting worried as everything seems a bit too easy

You won't feel restriction with liquids. As soon as they hit your stomach they start sliding though to your intestines. I had a live swallow test and I could watch on screen.

As soon as you are on soft foods you will feel the restriction.

Also if you gulp liquids right now, you will feel restriction. The fact that you aren't feeling restriction says that you are taking small sips and doing the right thing. You really don't want to push it right now.

Very, very, very normal.

I was the same way.

Guess what?......later on you can still feel little restriction with some of the foods that made us what we are today......ice cream, pudding, Desserts and etc. Good, nutritious chicken breast, tuna, salmon, steak and other Proteins will fill you up in just a few bites. That's why they go first......and frequently throughout your day.

Even with the sleeve, we still have to be cognizant of the type of foods we consume.

Life this next year or so is all about Protein and supplements.

You are going do great.

I agree with @@OutsideMatchInside , it must be because you're drinking the right way. Keep it up, small sips at the time and you won't need to be struggling with burps..!

      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?
