My doctor recommends Crystal Light. I love the iced tea lemon flavor. :sad: I was told that my pre-op dietitian appointment was more for the insurance than anything else. My doctor can't really find a dietitian that he likes. However, he tells me what I need to be eating and how much. He's really good about it.

I am also not allowed to drink Crystal Light because of the citric acid. I have occasionally done it when I'm in an area where the Water tastes awful, but generally speaking I avoid it. Just like most other things, you get used to life without it and it's not so bad.

I have been drinking generic Crystal Light for 16 months and all of a sudden I am getting extreme reflux and acid indigestion from it. I am going to try and get used to plain Water, bleck!!!!

My doctor has banded the use of Crystal light, because it has a sweenter and any form of sweetner or sugar will make you hungry.

      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.
