I have been on "soft foods" for a week now. I went off pureed foods last week. According to my doc, soft foods are those that can be broken up with a fork, including ground beef and toast.

So I had 2 slices of pizza and some salad the other day. I did fine and chewed REALLY well, cause at that point it's soft! I'm not overeating, and if anything am not getting enough calories.

Do you think I did a lot of harm???:thumbup:

omw i so could have written this post! i've not yet eaten pizza and/or salad but the concept is the same. I feel fine...normal even and yet i am worried about everything. do i feel TOO good? do i not FEEL enough? is this going to screw it up? did i eat too much (after several days of eating out of a ramekin a regular sized portion seems gigantic) I am not getting enough calories either and yet I dont want to screw anything up. I've got nothing productive to help i guess lol just saying i feel your anxiety!

I have a feeling we are fine. I mean I chew the food to a pureed consistency, I guess if we don't then the problem happens......????

      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?
