Work is always going to suck and be stressful no matter what you are eating = no change.

You are luckier than most - I will get 800 cal of 5 Protein Shakes for 10 days, 2 days of no-cal clear liquids......so count your blessings you don't have my pre-op plan!!!

My surgery isn't until December. All I can suggest is to keep focusing on how good it is going to feel when you get the weight off. Easier said than done, I know.

Hang in there. It will be worth it. 🌸

You are lucky. I started my 2 week liquid diet yesterday. All I can have are 3-4 Protein Shakes, sugar free Jello & ice pops and broth. That is it for 2 weeks. They say it gets better after day 5. I certainly hope so. Good luck to you! You can do it!

Wow you are quite lucky with this diet plan. I was on straight liquids for 2 weeks pre op. My best advice is whenever you are hungry no matter how sick of it you might get, down some ice cold Water. It will kill the hunger and keep you from over eating. Hang it there, it's all worth it, trust me!

      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?
