Good luck to you!!

Hang in there. The first 4 days are the worst, but it gets so much easier after that. Keep plugging away and take it day by day.

Thank you so much and it is hard ha ha but I keep telling myself nothing will taste as good as feeling healthy and being skinny feels.

I'm on day 6 of 14. It is still tough but getting through it.
Water...drink Water when you find yourself having a headache.
Warm items help me feel more satisfied. Soups and high Protein hot chocolate are my favorites.
Add ice in a blender with your shakes...it gives them a little bulk and there are small bits of ice you can chew!
I add benefiber to one or two of my shakes each day to help keep things moving.
I get up every 2 hours (sometimes less) to use the bathroom. I've lost about 7lbs since I started and I'm sure a lot of that is water!
I'm trying a new recipe every day for shakes and soups. So while I'm having 2 chocolate Premier Protein shakes a day, the third one is usually something different. (My plan is 3 shakes and 3 protein liquid foods per day).
I keep trying different yogurts but so far haven't found one I like.
I keep telling myself better liver better surgery. I repeat that every time I see a food commercial or someone offers me something and I have to resist.

      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?
