Moved up a stage early by Doc. Question



Recommended Posts

I just thought if something. I was moved up to the puree stage early by my doc and Nut. They moved me to pureed food on a Friday and I wasn't scheduled to move up until the following Wednesday.

Does that mean my new move up day for each stage is now Fridays or still Wednesday?

Meaning should I continue moving up on my original scheduled day or is my whole plan moved up and I could have moved on to soft food as of yesterday (Friday which would have been a week on puree)

Doc and Nut not in on weekends or I would have of course called them :-)

I had the same situation. My moving up day changed too. Just because you had one stage shortened, don't shorten the next stage. Good luck!

I was to be on clear and Protein shakes for 2 weeks, but my nut moved me to yogurt and cottage cheese day 10 and soft/mushie day 11. I plan to consult with her at six weeks, although next phase is 8 weeks

Best to ask your doctor/nut.

I had to see my nut at every food stage change. For me it was every 2 weeks.

It may also depend how well/not well you tolerate each stage.

Listen to your body and observe how you are doing, any extra noises, any reflux or indigestion, what really agrees with you, are you hungry, etc

Then you can discuss it with your nut.

Good luck.

I certainly wouldn't know and could not give you medical advice.

It is a bummer you can't reach your doctor/nut over the weekend.

If it was me, I would wait until Monday and call them. The healing stomach needs lots of TLC and being careful with it.

As I had personally few issues at every food stage change, I err on the side of caution.

Good luck.

      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?
