Share pics of what you're eating and how much?!



Recommended Posts

I saw a few YouTube videos and thought it was a fun and helpful idea. If you feel up to it, post a pic showing what and how much you're eating to give everyone an idea of portion size and meal ideas! You can also include how far out you are if you want, and also, check out the YouTube videos! They're informative :)

One of my support group meetings, a former sleever posted her sandwich before/after eating portion -- and this was like two years out -- and it was TINY!

Very helpful to see she could still only eat m-a-y-b-e quarter of HALF of a sandwich. She talked about eating a third of one hard boiled egg post-op and was so full she felt ready to burst.

Honestly, this stuff was really interesting and helpful. I'm a foodie and do the meal prep/grocery shopping for the family and am used to shopping at a wholesale club. My desire to save money by buying in bulk may need to be offset by buying in MUCH smaller quantities for the family (my kids are toddlers so don't eat much, just hubby and I.)

Anyway, yes, please, if others can post pics, it really is helpful to wrap your head around what to expect, say, 3 months out, 6 months out, and a year or two out on maintenance.

      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?
