Egg drop Soup became my new best friend today. That and a drained French onion soup with kimchi broth mixed.

So I talked to my surgeon and told him I'm getting less than 200 calories a day. He said he wouldn't worry about calories right now and just focus on staying hydrated and Protein. He said the Soups that you guys suggested are probably ok but everything else is not and to stick to the book I was given. I can't stand most things from the book anymore but I will stick too it. I'm nothing if I'm not stubborn so I will deal with it till I get to the next phase.

I know how you feel. I had my sleeve on 06/13 and I am struggling. I am having difficulty with just Water.

Just hang in there!

Hi. I had my surgery on 6/13 as well and can only drink about 8oz of Water. A few bites of food here and there. I have lost about 25lbs, but I think a stall is coming soon because I'm not able to eat a lot. I would love to hear how your doing with food and weight loss.

Surgery was 6/21 and I'm like you, I'm already over my Soups and broths. I like to cook real food so I jumped to soft foods early but now I regret it because I gained 2 pounds. My doctor said it was a bit early to move to soft foods so I decided to give the liquids/soups another try for 2 more weeks.

My favs so far have been the sugar free Popsicles and Hot and Sour Soup from my favorite Chinese restaurant. I might try the potato flakes with chicken broth as well.

Being a foodie, this is going to be a tough journey but with this support, I know I can make it through it. You will too

That first 2 weeks is brutal but you can do it.

      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?
