11 days post bypass - and last night in my sleep I ate my bright orange wax earplug!

Pretty sure THAT is not in my post-op menu list!

I don’t usually wear ear plugs but we are staying in a hotel - the ear plugs clearly bother me, I sometimes take them out and stick them weird places in the night, like in the lampshade, squished inside my bedside reading etc.

But eating one! Well, I appear to have chewed it a bit, so fingers crossed my new tummy can figure out what to do - else it is Christmas Hospital Visit for me!

Merty Christmas to you all...

Good news! I researched a little and earplugs (even with residual ear wax) have zero calories! :):):)

I don't think you have anything to worry about.

Merry Christmas and a very happy new year!

More importantly - do they have Protein? ?.

Have you had a wad of pink poop yet? Inquiring minds and all? (psssst...I alternately snorted Water out of my nose and read in your situation with extreme horror!) :D Good times.

In my ‘firehose’ phase I would have noticed immediately. Now things are more solid, I didn’t deconstruct, but I assume so!

The recalled feel of bits of orange wax between my teeth still grosses me out. But at least I chewed!!

      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?
