Congratulations on your weight loss. 44 pounds in 9 weeks is very good. I found that softer foods (chili and soups) went down much easier than harder foods (steak and chicken), so this is what I primarily relied on. I have included a few recipes at the end of the following article. http://www.breadandbutterscience.com/Surgery.pdf

Have you heard of people getting the opening stretch by there Doctor, due to food getting stuck? Not sure about that. I thought eventually we can eat more and have more variety in foods later. ?

Sometimes individuals develop a blockage after gastric bypass surgery. This is called a stricture. This makes eating and drinking rather difficult. Sometimes this will heal on its own but other times a minor medical procedure is used. Here is a link about this. https://www.realself.com/question/stricture

chicken wings are extremely fatty.

And any meat is harder to digest.

If you crave variety try the deli in your local food co-op.

They usually have interesting veggie Soups or entre`s.

      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?
