Eating With The Duodenal Switch
catechole replied to Elisabethsew's topic in Duodenal Switch Surgery Forum
Then you must be years out and have a really big sleeve. Most can only eat 4-6oz food even months out and it is NOT enough to get enough protein in 3 meals. Truth is, you don't need to deny yourself when you're hungry. You can just eat fat/proteins. In fact, people often find their weight loss with the DS STALLING because they don't eat enough calories. -

You have to eat in between meals to get enough protein without supplementing heavily with protein shakes. It's common to eat every 2 to 4 hours. You cannot, I repeat CANNOT live with the DS on 3 meals a day without multiple protein shakes every day. You malabsorb fat, so just eat fatty meat like bacon. Eat it as much as you want. Just don't eat carbs.
