What did you guys eat for your first “regular” good meal? I’m so excited but scared! Would low carb tortillas be okay?

I never had a "regular" good meal when I started back onto "real" foods. It was one food at a time. Trying a little of this and a little of that. I struggled with the course texture of veggies for a long time. Liver was the best meat and eggs never have settled well since surgery. I found that I could initially eat some things just fine (like cod) but if I did get sick on something just once, I could never go back to it. That happened with the cod and I still have lots of frozen portions in my freezer. :( So, no, it took months before I can say I had a regular meal.

Beans (especially refried, and thinned with bone broth) were a favorite - very easy to tolerate and tasted good. Cottage cheese was another one that worked well, as well as yogurt. Starchy foods like the tortilla might tend to get "stuck", but if you can eat a little with some Beans, that sounds pretty yummy. I did not introduce starches until much later, however - not until I got within 10 pounds of goal weight.

I wouldn't bother with tortilla aren't they thick and flour texture? Might get stuck in your new stomach?

      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?
