One skill you're going to need to learn is how to differentiate types of hunger.

Is it physical hunger that can be satisfied by something nutritious?

Is it head hunger where you need to remove the trigger?

Is it stomach acid and you need to make sure you're taking your PPI?

I’ve found the return of hunger to be erratic. Yes, it probably was at after about two months I first felt hungry again but then not for days after that. You too may find this is erratic and even how you feel hungry is not like it used to be. Did you get your Protein & fluids in yesterday? If I don’t get my protein in one day I can feel hungry the next.

I had trouble sleeping one night after a Christmas party where I had only eaten a salmon canapé. Didn’t know what was wrong, until I realised I was hungry. Got up and ate some steak at 11:30 & felt way better.

Eight months out & it’s still the same. I sometimes have to remind myself to eat cause if I don’t feel hungry so I try to keep a strict routine for when I eat so I’m meeting my nutrient goals not hungry the next day. But everyone is different.

      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?
