I've been belching, but not any more than before my surgery. I burp more out of the backside, but knew I would as that is a side effect of the duodenal switch.

That's great!!! That was my main reason for surgery. I was insulin dependent, with high doses. I've been off insulin since leaving the hospital. Surgery was 2 months ago.

How would you rate the ease/difficulty of your first week after surgery?

I was a 5.... had a lot of pain. Slept in the recliner until I could lay in the bed. I moved very slow. Then again I'm 63, and age may factor into my recovery. I'm now 2 months out and at a 10.

I'm in the same calorie area as you . Today I'm at 709 calories. I'm 2 months post op with a duodenal switch. I haven't gone over 1000 calories. I'm eating well and not holding back. Just eat until I'm satisfied.

At first I couldn't get enough popsicles. Even when I was in the hospital. Now it's more of a treat at 2 months post op.

I'm on the Celebrate ADEK had the duodenal switch. I gag on those chewables. I've been supplementing with One a Day 60+ I can go on the capsule except I need to order it online as the hospital pharmacy doesn't carry the capsules. I haven't heard of the vitamin patches. Sounds like an ideal option for vitamins.
