I stupidly ate my lunch too fast today because I was busy at work. The last bite gave me an unbelievable pain in upper abdomen. Really intense. I ran to the bathroom and tried to throw it up, but I couldn’t. I felt a little better though, because the gagging must have moved some stuff around. About 2 hours later I took my Vitamin pills and started my shake, and while I don’t feel pain, I still feel pressure and just a weird sensation, and it is uncomfortable to drink. Can stuff get stuck going down? I mean, it can’t still be stuck because I took a pill and drank but maybe I kind of bruised something? Never again will I rush to get those damned grams of Protein in. I’m 2 .5 months out and sometimes I feel normal and forget that I am early in the process and healing. I was stunned at how bad that hurt, it was scary.

It happened to me last week, I'm 4.5 months out and still forget to eat slow at times, you will feel better soon. Take care 😉

I do the same thing. I now eat with a timer from my phone.. Even if its banana pancakes. Next bite if its a soft food is 1 min, if anything other its a min of 2 min wait and then when timer goes off, i will decide if i need to add another 2min to the time depending on how i feel.

I haven't had to be that strict about it, I usually can usually just sense what is ok, but I should have never started lunch knowing how pressed I was for time. It would have been better to be hungry and eat later. Never again.

      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?
