Yesterday was bad. Day 6 of liquid diet, and I cried through most of it. I even called my program coordinator to ask if there's something else I can do, anything else. I could not be around the family bbq that afternoon and went for a walk in the woods, cried through most of that. I just felt so hopeless and didn't want to have anything, couldn't stand the thought of another liquid "meal." Has this happened to anyone else? Why is this diet making me so emotional? In addition to the crying, I've been short tempered, and physically tired. I forced myself to have a Protein Shake first thing this morning and felt a bit better today.

The low carb, low fat preop diet was the pits. I was constantly crying! Postop, once I got onto full liquids, it was much better :)

No getting around the suck that is the liquid diet. In my opinion, what you did was perfectly normal behavior.

      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?
