I am now 12 weeks out as of tomorrow as are you ....I'm down 50 since operation but find that I have slight to moderate indigestion/ uncomfortable feeling after I eat almost anything. So now I find myself skipping meals rather than get the uncomfortable feeling......anyone else have such problems?

If I eat too quickly or take too large of a bite of food it is uncomfortable. Also certain food seem to bother me like the ribs of leaf lettuce or a small piece of toasted wheat bagel that I tried last week. Couldn't eat tuna for the first many weeks either but now not a problem. Soft foods are still tolerated the most easily. People heal at different rates I guess.

I am also 12 weeks out and down 40 lbs.

Yes definitely, just did that today, skipped lunch. Congratulations, 12 wks out and am down 45 pounds, still can't eat red meat of any kind unless it is ground up and in Soup. I do better with soft and liquid still.

Me too, I always eat too fast and it hurts or it comes back up. I can't eat tuna or red meat of any kind, its too rich. I can't drink carbonated drinks at all, still a lot of gas and upset stomach.

Thanks for the feedback. I definitely still eat too fast and I bet that is a big part of my indigestion. Trouble is I was a fast and big eater all my life and its been a tough habit to break. I take nexium now morning and evening and it seems to be helping. I also bought a Digestive aid in the Vitamin Shop. But its disappointing to to have to eat so little and then feel uncomfortable. The 50 lb weight loss in 3 months has helped ease that pain.

I'm 3 months out and still on mostly soft foods. Sleeved on May 25th. Major Constipation issues. I even got a fisher because of it. Now taking care of that too. Eating is really hit or miss. If it's a miss, I'm in pain for a few hours. If it's s hit, it's usually fish or Soup, or something soft. No lagunes or cooked broccoli or uncooked carrots

      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?
