None yet. I am still in full liquids though. I still tolerate Premier Protein drinks which I know a lot of people report after surgery they can't do anymore. I am heading back to work tomorrow. I am going to do some part time days and then go back full force on Monday.

Yes I did, and do. I bet this happens to you, but I hope not.

I discovered I dislike some things I used to love. But the dislike has culminated over a period of time. So I would try to eat something like a green olive, which I love, and found it made me feel like crud. Over time I started to dislike green olives. There is a myriad of food like that, that overtime I grew to not like so much.

I also have a stricture that is going away. So if I eat or don’t chew well enough, it will try and come back up, it’s effortless for me to get sick.

So as long as you eat slow and chew chew chew, you should be A-OK.

I’m wishing you more smooth sailing!!!

Just had mine done on Monday and was up and walking about 2 hours after surgery. Basically no pain and was able to walk laps around the nurses' station. They said no one does multiple laps their first trip out but I did 3. A lot is in the prep. Meaning; get yourself to a gym and walk on a treadmill or ride a bike. Get a good strong core/legs and follow pre-op diet to the letter.

Great read -- I think the post above about prep may be a factor for y'all. Or just damn good luck :-)

      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?
