So I am now 9 days post op, 25 lbs down! I feel amazing! I meet my surgeon yesterday and I am healing well, I do have some bruising however. I watch my 4 1/2 month old, 20lb son, all day and have no issues lifting/playing with him. I am now on a purée diet. My wife made turkey chili and I purée'd that last night. Was able to get 2 tbsp down(with cheese and tapitio) OMG, my whole body changed after eating! I have been so tired and lethargic and I never thought 2 tbsp of food could give me so much energy! It's funny because I'm using my sons spoons to eat, he's not using them yet! Lol. I still have some gas but have taken a small, strained, BM the last 3 days. The two things I forgot to ask my surgeon were: coffee intake soon? And should I be using Fiber? Anyways, sorry my story is all over the place, new to blogging. I'll keep you all updated! post-286891-14575409588058_thumb.jpg

Your son is adorable! I am 4 days post op and using my son's baby spoons as well! (He is 9, so he certainly doesn't need them.). From what I've read Fiber like Metamucil is a no no for at least 2 months. I think I've read 6 weeks for coffee, but I'm sure each team is a little different. Best of luck to you!

      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?
