How long before I can eat real food?



Recommended Posts

I would expect to wait about 90 days before you can eat "normally" - meaning new normal not old normal

Currently 5 weeks out my diet drastically improved following a sleeve.

I was able to not chew food like baby food (I still chewed well and went slow) and was able to expand my diet a bit.

The plan is around 8 weeks i will incorporate nuts and raw veggies/salad and I should be pretty happen then.

I think 8 weeks you should be eating pretty decent.

I feel your pain ...I'm a bit hungry but really more just wanting to have something other than 6oz of Protein Shake every day...and broth and sugar free ice pops...will be thrilled when I can have a scrambled egg or some pureed Soup or even Greek yogurt which I don't love lol...

I go to the surgeon tomorrow and hopefully get my next stage to start on. :)

      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?
