I'll be at two weeks on Tuesday. I have no problem drinking anything, I can drink A LOT. I can also eat a lot more than I expected, but I'm being careful not eating until I'm full. I have just yet to feel a restriction.

Normal?

I'm assuming you're still at mush food? I think once you start eating more solid food you'll feel more restriction. That being said, so many people had me so scared about certain foods and so far I can eat almost anything. The ONLY thing I've had a problem with is eating too quickly when I'm not paying attention. It happened again tonight. Taking to a friend as we were playing cards and was eating my crab and a few minutes after finishing, it came right back up. I also don't tolerate creamy Soup, I think for the same reason. They go down too fast and then I feel sweaty and hot and nauseous but bc they're liquids there's really nothing left to throw up as it's already went down the tubes so to speak lol.

Bottom line, you'll learn you best. Take it slowly!

Uhm, are you talking about yourself? Just curious because your profile said you had surgery in 2013 & are 175 😂 God bless!

Yes, I had a sleeve to RNY revision on 2/11/20 due to GERD.

two things going on: 1) nerves were cut during surgery - it takes them awhile to start regenerating 2) I assume you're still on purees. You'll feel more once you move to solid food

Hey there @catwoman7 is spot on in advice. I am one of those people who like you could drink loads right out of the gate. Also while eating I had to stop looking fir the full feeling as my signal. I have learned that my full signal tends to happen 15+ mins after I finish eating. No one told me it could be delayed that long. So I ate by portion size early on. Try that and eat & drink S L O W L Y. It really does make a difference.

      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?
