Hey all,

Got the band on 3/9, came home feeling great. No pain, sleeping well. Now----I am cold, I had a headache last week that almost took me out. It started during the night and continued to build until I was ready to kill for relief(might have been allergy). Today I woke up as tired as I was when I feel asleep on the sofa last night. My blood pressure is lower that usual, I am normally high and on meds. Guess these might need to be adjusted but my PCP won't do that until further testing in a couple of weeks. I have lost about 32 lbs. since the first of the year, about 10 in the last 3 weeks. Getting in the Protein , Water and Vitamins, not hungry but frequently want to "chew". I have the need for texture, I want to feel things in my mouth so I know that I have eaten.(strange) I don't want things like potatoes near my mouth, normally I love these. Made fish for lunch and couldn't even try to eat it. I will not be able to live on Chicken!! However, chicken is the only thing I am able to eat and enjoy. Hard boiled eggs are ok but I almost hurl if I think of scrambled. I'm good with yogurt, shakes and smoothies but my info is that we need to get something other than liquids. Help me people!

Okay so you are completely back on solids now? what about steamed veggies. If you are on mushy foods try a creamy Soup like broccoli cheese soup. That's pretty good and will help fill you up. what about pork tenderloin or something like that? or even better yet make a turkey breast in the crock pot until it's falling apart. that's really good and really good for you.

      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?
