My beginning journey



Recommended Posts

Hello my name is Cocodoll45. I am 14 days post op of gastric bypass. I been having such a hard post surgery journey. I can't drink anything to much. The Protein Shakes and Gatorade are too sweet. Water I'm barely getting this down. I'm always weak and tired. I'm feeling like I made a mistake by getting this done. Please help me with other options I can do to get more fluids in please.

In the beginning I found the same problem with Protein Shakes and Water. I relied on homemade Bone Broth Soups. chicken bone broth was my #1 friend. And I learned to force myself to drink the shakes for fear of future Hair loss.

I as well am about the same time frame out and experienced the same thing. Today I actually finally started feeling better. Big difference for me was making sure I do not eat 30 minutes after I drink and then don't drink for 30 minutes after I eat. Md also gave me mess to help prevent muscle spasms which is a life saver.

      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?
