I started my pre-op liquid diet today. I am scheduled for May 19 in Kansas City with Dr. Price. I am nervous and excited. So far, this liquid diet stinks. I know it will be better in a couple days. I think I will have to get out and take a walk to get my mind off of food. The dog is on a diet too, so it will be good for both of us.

Good for you...and the dog. You are almost there!!! Consider it a small price to pay for the new, improved you :blush:

Good for you! I am hoping to get a surgery date in the next week or so. I am starting a liquid diet on Tuesday though since I have had bronchitis for 6 weeks and such bad allergies I haven't tasted anything for at least a month. I keep wondering why I am eating at all. Oh well. I have heard a lot of people who swear by egg drop Soup run through the blender and you can mix it with the high Protein chicken broth for added Protein. Just a thought because I suspect the sweetness could get gross after a while.

Good Luck! I am sure your dog appreciates the extra walks too.

      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?
