I think just about everyone has that same thought of "what the hell did I do" during that first week. It is slightly rough. But before you know it you are going on one month since surgery, down almost 30 lbs, and eating soft foods.

I'm wondering since I'm doing really great with soft foods, when do I start with regular foods? I'm ready to try some things like spinach (uncooked) and lettuce; perhaps a small salad?

How often do you find yourself esting... and what are you eating do far? I'm post-op 15 days.

Im same as you 2.5 weeks post op. struggling a bit with choices but am sticking to 1/2 to 3/4 cup meal once or twice a day and shakes or Soup for rest to get Protein up. All depends on how my tummy is feeling....

So far Ive tried lightly scrambled egg, roughly pureed chicken, pureed lamb stew, mashed up meatballs with a sauce, mashed fish, mashed potato, all were fine.... I have also had a rice cracker thing with a slice of cheese on it. The rice crackers melt in your mouth and the cheese is very soft.

What have you been trying?

I've had shrimp, squash/zucchini (in a grill pack..by far the best thing so far), Northern Beans, baked Beans, refried beans, avocado, green beans, a little scrambles egg, lasagna but no noodles I just had sauce for the most part, Greek yogurt, and some thinly shaved turkey and ham from a deli.

Tonight for dinner I had about 2 oz of seared Ahi tuna steak and about 2 oz of Lobster Bisque Soup. Delicious and satisfying!

      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?
