I think the key to going regularly is to make sure you have enough fluids- the gym sounds like a good idea, but I am still sore from the port (tomorrow will be 3 weeks) so I have just been trying to walk alot-

I am eating almost everything, but am afraid to try bread or pasta- I guess that is a good thing- I am trying to keep these 18lbs. off that I lost since this journey began, but I have 3 weeks to go until my first fill, and I certainly hope that it makes a difference

I'm also having a problem with not being able to go, when I called the Dr. he recommended Milk of Mag. ugh, double ugh, but it worked. I am finding certain foods fill me up better than others. Cottage cheese is definately filling, before surgery I couldn't stand the stuff, now I love it, especially with a little sugar free strawberry jam on top. I have also tried the Campbell's Soup at hand, the blended veg medley and potato are really good. I also have an issue in getting the shakes down, have you tried Syntrax Nectar Protein Powder, its better than any of the others I have tried, they have fruit flavors that mix well with Tropicana Sugar Free Orange-ade drink. I have also gained a couple pounds back, and it is totally depressing.

      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?
