What is going in with my body!

I too have the growling stomach. I just had my band put in on Monday, Aug 27th. I feel hungry, but I think it's more mental than physical. I hear the first 2 weeks are the hardest, emotionally. My doctor put me on a strict diet. My band is really tight. I can only have Clear Liquids for week 1. Week 2 I can introduce smooth/pureed foods. juice, V8, Blended Soups, Jamba juice. Week 3 I can start on mushy fish, cotto and cheese. Week 4-6 I can add more hearty foods like red meat, pork, etc... but only in small quantities and I was told to 'test them out' first before diving in.

I hope you feel better. Trust me, I'm right there with ya.

I was given a great diet of 4-6 oz every 2-3 hours 6 times a day; 4 of those meals need to be a Medifast shake, pudding or Soup and the other two meals are pureed Soups of your choice (even chicken noodle soup). I felt a little need for something extra today for the first time (today is the first day of my period). Other than today I haven't felt hungry once (and I am 300 lbs). I took two tablespoons of mandarin orange Salad Dressing and that took off my urge for something savory. So, actually, I wasn't hungry, I was craving.

      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?
