It does pass! I promise. But the best thing to do is to walk as much as possible. I also used chewable gas x too.

Things are good. I'm just sick of these liquids lol. I can manage colder drinks now, where initially it would cause me pain. I still get tired quickly and lightheaded if I do too much walking or standing. My bariatric partner says its normal because my calorie intake is soooo much lower. She says sip sip sip all day if I have to. As much as I need to. Just stay hydrated. I feel myself getting better and stronger each day. I'm using the bathroom good, even though I'm not eating. Who knew lol.

Looking forward to my 2 week post op appt so I can move on to the next two week diet which will be full liquids But at least I'll be able to have more things. I'll be on puréed/soft diet weeks 5 & 6. I'm bored, but I'm starting to appreciate the pace. Don't want to do too much too soon, allowing me to heal properly and get my new stomach used to this new life

      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.
