Are there any items (not necessarily food) that have been very helpful? For example, calorie tracker, step counter, big enough water bottle, containers to help with Portion Control, something to help with Protein, anything else? THANKS!!!

I'm a little over 3 weeks post op. The things I am finding the most useful:

- food scale. Get used to measuring everything.

- Immersion blender. You will be drinking lots of Protein shakes. I had been using a shaker bottle, but the immersion blender is so much easier and makes the shake smoother.

- 4 oz containers. Has 2 uses. First, makes it easy to make sure I'm eating the right amount. Second, my portion of food fills the container, which for some reason makes me more satisfied with the meal. Even though 4oz easily fills me up, it was depressing to see my tiny portion of food in a big bowl. It made me feel deprived even though I wasn't hungry. Brains are weird!

- Tiny spoon & fork. Helps make sure I eat slower and take smaller bites.

- 32 oz Water bottle with measurements on the side. Makes it easier to keep track of Fluid intake.

I really appreciate this topic, looking forward more replies.

The Yeti vacuum stainless steel drink cups are excellent at keeping drinks hot/cold, your choice.

      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?
