I'm actually pretty good on the liquid/reduced calorie diet. I have 4 Protein shakes a day and can have sugar free Jello and certain vegetables. I started this on Monday last so it's almost a week and I can't say I'm starving or craving anything really. I was really weak on Tuesday with the drastic decrease in calories, but I sometimes don't even get all 4 pouches in.

But I am very low mobility now due to other illnesses unrelated to my weight so I don't move very much and don't use much energy. The hope is that after the weight loss, I'll be able to move more easily with less pain.

I can say it's more of a mind thing. I realize how much mindless eating I did! My hubby sits next to me watching tv and stuffs his face - oh he would hate me saying that lol - with Cookies or chips and what bothers me more is not that I can't have any but the amount he's eating! And that I used to eat that many too! PS - it did bother me the first 2 days, now I'm ok with it ;)

Good luck everyone!! Y'all can do this!! Have the final goal in mind!! :)

So I have my surgery on 12/29/2016 and I am in my 1000 calorie diet. The first 2 days I was like OMG I need a cheeseburger I am so hungry and then my husband was like can u pick me up some Burger King. I go there and yes I ate 1 nugget but I really wanted a cheeseburger. But I am hanging in there and getting ready for this 3 day liquid diet. That's what I am scared of, does anybody have any suggestions on how to make it through these 3 days of liquids.< /p>

Chew on things you like just for taste an spit it out. Its gotten me through my last 1st week ugh.

Today is my last day of the liquid diet before I start my clear liquid diet tomorrow morning. Surgery is on Thursday morning at 7:30am! I'm so nervous. Liquids were so hard, and I cheated one meal for Christmas. Back at it today though.

      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?
