One thing I am finding interesting is how different the protocols are between different doctors. Some say no coffee, no caffeine some say it's ok. Some no catheter or drain, some get both. I had a 1 night say but my niece had 3. Some people begin having to shovel down Protein drinks in the first day, some gradually ease into the shakes.
I just find it interesting that we have the exact same type of surgery but different protocols.
Don't ya'll?

I agree, it is confusing. It just makes me think we have to use discretion with all things. Listen to your doctor but I think you have to also know yourself and do more research. I believe doctors learn new things concerning this surgery all the time and they make changes based on new information.

So true Dee. I think this also helps us in our journey to experiment with foods. Each body is different, each jirney different. [emoji4]

        Have a great Wednesday too! Sorry you're hungry all the time, I'm pretty much the same..and I'm sick of eating the same food all the time.

      Well, tomorrow I go in for an impromptu hiatal hernia repair after ending up in the ER over the weekend because I couldn't get food down and water was moving at a trickle... I've been having these symptoms on and off for a few weeks but Sunday was the worst by far and came with chest pain and trouble breathing. The ER PA thinks it is just esophagitis and that the surgeon and radiologist are wrong. But the bariatric surgeon swears it is a hernia, possibly a sliding one based on my symptoms. So he fit me into his schedule this week to repair it! I hope he's right and this sorts it out. He's going to do a scope afterwards to be sure there is nothing wrong with the esophagus. Here's hoping it all goes well!!

      Having gall bladder surgery in a few days and I so hope the recovery is easier than the one from the modified DS! I could use a bit of luck/pep talk for a change. I'm starting to be able to walk around without experiencing dizziness, but it would be great if the random pain in my chest and abdomen would go away!!
