Hey all. I'm 14 days pay vertical sleeve today. I have 1 more week on my liquid diet before i get to move on to soft foods. I'm hungry but almost there. This is one of the most difficult things i've ever done but I'm hopeful and happy. My pain is virtually gone now except if I bend or twist wrong. Any tips for surviving these lazy few days on liquids?

Don't focus on the time, it'll only make it seem longer!
Just focus on doing what you need to, then before you know it, you'll be progressing to "real" foods.

When in doubt or when you feel like you are struggling. Just remember all the reasons why you wanted the surgery and remember to stay strong.

So true. I just have to keep my eyes on the road ahead and remember my goal. Ugh is it difficult though. They literally have cake at my work like EVERY DAY. I'm not even exaggerating. I think they have connections with a party catering company or something with the amount of cake people buy there. I don't even understand how they can afford to buy cake every week, lol. So, today at our meeting, CAKE AGAIN. Thankfully I wasn't alone in not partaking because there was a vegan in the meeting as well but man. One lady actually brought a toaster oven and baked Cookies in the building one time. I'm like. T.T It will be worth it though and nothing worth doing was ever easy. One of my co-workers was very sweet in sympathizing with me and said they would bring me sugar free Jello, lol.

      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?
