Follow the eating plan that your surgeon gave you. The hospital gives everyone the same booklets, but each surgeon has different requirements for their patients. Make sure you call the surgeon if he did not give you a specific plan. I was on two weeks of liquids and one week of soft foods. My surgeon said it was important that I heal first, which is why he recommends 2 weeks of liquids before moving to softs, then solids. Hope this helps.

      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.
