Well, I came clean to my Doctor today... and told him that I was really struggling with this liquid-only diet while he was removing the stitches.

I told him what I had been eating the past 3 days (bag of cheetos, slices of bread, 1 cheeseburger, etc) and to my surprise he didn't give me any attitude at all, on the contrary, he almost reacted as if he had "expected" this would happen, and only advised that I MADE SURE I chewed everything REALLY REALLY WELL and, of course, to also make better food choices.

He did advise against eating any "hard" foods like crackers, corn chips, toast, etc for the time being.

So I'll just keep having my morning shake and try to complement my lunch & dinner Soup servings with some grilled fish or chicken if possible, but... I guess I'm off the hook! w00t! :thumbup:

I'm glad you told him! I've read so many different doc's reactions; some do x-ray, some just tell patient's to watch it (sometimes sadly there IS a slip) some don't seem to care. :thumbup:

You are LUCKY you! :smile2: enjoy, chew well, and good for you telling him. Now you don't have to worry.

This is definitely hard and I share your desire for something other than liquids but you have to stick with it. I was told to eat 5 times a day but haven't been able to get all those in. Rice and bread are the worst things to east because they can swell and cause problems later. When those pounds start to melt away it WILL be worth it. "You can do it"

Oh how I feel your pain!!!

I just want to chew up a cheeseburger and spit it out!!

that's not cheating is it?

I am on day 5 and should still be on clear but I'm having some creamy Soups as well.

I had to pass up the samples at costco today...uggh....

I think i just want to sleep so I don't think about my food. I miss it soo much!

Good Luck!:(

      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?
