Today is day two of post opp. I had wake up every to walk for 10 mins I was told to try to sip 5 ounces of fluids an hour I don't think could drink that much currently I am afraid I may vomit or get heart burn. I don't feel much pain.

Just try and do what they say, but also make sure they know how you're feeling. This is temporary!

For me, the best way to get my Water in was to just try to drink one ounce every 15 minutes. Trying to do 4-5 ounce an hour might mean trying to fit them all in quickly at the end of the hour instead of really spacing it out and pacing yourself.

Another trick for me to get my Water in was to march in place. I had esophageal spasms, burping, and other issues with swallowing in the first couple of weeks, but marching in place while sipping somehow made it a little easier.

I know how you feel, I have been unable to consume all the stuff they put on my sheet. It's crazy how much stuff they want you to take in. SO TIRED OF EATING!!! :(

      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?
