Questions About First Mushie Day Please



Recommended Posts

My papers don't tell me how much to try the first time.

Do I eat mushies once the first day or do you try to eat them three times a day.

Any info is appreciate. I have left a message for my dr but I'm just curious what others did.

I started off with two "mushy meals" and one Protein Shake. I could have up to 1/2 cup of food, or until I felt full. My first mushy was a boiled egg smashed up with a bit of ff Salad Dressing. That wasn't a whole 1/2 cup of food, but it was all I could eat. I've been on mushies for almost a week, and I'm still full with one egg, and it carries me to lunch. I've also mostly been drinking a shake at lunch to help me get in my Protein.< /span>

      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?
