I was told to get in a minimum of 60g of Protein a day. However, I don't do the whole low carb thing, so I have no problem getting in all my veggies too.

I also take a Multivitamin daily. I think it's really important especially when eating such limited calories.

My dr does not have me monitoring as long as I get 3 oz of Protein and veg/fruit when I eat. He only wants me eating when hungry and no Liquid Protein any more. That means 2 meals a day these days. Each dr/nut has different recommendations so check with yours.

this is what i do and it works for me

i try to eat 3-4oz of Protein each meal with my veggies (fruit for a snack)

i do drink a Protein Shake per day to help.

i do this for my Breakfast as i am too tight to eat. (with my dr's okay).

i also take Vitamins to help per my dr and nutritionist instructions.

I don't focus on anything but 1000 calories every day which includes for each meal 3-4 oz of protein, 1/2 c veggies and 1/4 c startch and a snack of fruit.< /p>

      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.
