I had the duodenal switch on Monday, June 19th. Yesterday June 23rd, I fixed a smoothie and added several strawberries and 1/2 of a banana. Clueless that I wasnt supposed to add fruits in. I know...dumb....my husband is post op on hos sleeve surgery by several months and I had been watching him.

What should I do. Im going to stay to the guidelines strictly now that I aware more clearly of what I should be doing.

I probably only drank 4-6 oz total with the fruit.

Feeling really dumb. I wasnt trying to be reckless.

Everyone makes mistakes for sure. When my Suregon told me that anything I could blend I could have (I was out futher than you) but I thought to myself HHHMMM watermellon is mostly Water so I am going to give it a try. BAD IDEA!!! I got the "Back door trots so bad". The acid in the watermellon played havic with my bottom for sure. So if you are ok just know we all have been there done that sort of thing. Just follow your Dr's guidelines and you will be great. Good Luck

      I changed my profile image to a molecule of protein. Why? Because I am certain that it saved my life.

      Two years out. Lost 120 , regained 5 lbs. Recently has a bout of Norovirus, lost 7 pounds in two days. Now my stomach feels like it did right after my surgery. Sore, sensitive to even water.  Anyone out there have a similar experience?

      April Surgery
      Am I the only struggling to get weight down. I started with weight of 297 and now im 280 but seem to not lose more weight. My nutrtionist told me not to worry about the pounds because I might still be losing inches. However, I do not really see much of a difference is this happen to any of you, if so any tips?
      Thanks

      Well recovering from gallbladder removal was a lot like recovering from the modified duodenal switch surgery, twice in 4 months yay 🥳😭. I'm having to battle cravings for everything i shouldn't have, on top of trying to figure out what happens after i eat something. Sigh, let me fast forward a couple of months when everyday isn't a constant battle and i can function like a normal person again! 😞
