Hi everyone!

I just want update on my last post (me eating the 2 spoonfuls of Soup with mushed Pasta in it).

So I've been constipated for 2 days now. Yesterday morning I drank the powdered medication to help me with that; however, I have not been able to go and last night I had a really horrible weird pain on my left side. The pain seemed to be mu pouch. Deep stabbing pain from front to back and then i felt a sudden deep pain down my intestines. I other words I felt food stuck. Yeee I didn't sleep all night the pain started around 1AM and git better at 5AM. I was so scared because I tried walking, sipping Water ect.. Nothing was helping. I was about to page my surgeon, but then read online that warm tea or Water could help. I made myself a Decaf green tea and sipped. Thanks Lord that helped at last. I was as able to go to sleep at 5 AM. Now I am pretty sure I will stick to the plan 100%

it's sad I learned my lesson the hard way. Can anyone tell me what other things beside Protein shakes, broth, tea, sugar free popsicles, Jello, G2 am I able to have at stage 3

Please

I was severely constipated after surgery from the pain meds I was on. I haven't had any issues since but, I do take Miralax every other day with tea. I ate mostly any Soup I wanted, mashed potatoes with gravy, sugar free pudding, oatmeal, cream of wheat, yogurts, etc. For the first month or so, I really struggled with food. I mostly had soup and 2 premier Protein shakes. Now 3 months out, I'm able to eat my Protein but I still supplement with one shake a day. Best wishes 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?
