Ok, hard for me to relate but I find higher Fiber Protein Shakes and Soups more filling and satisfying. See if that helps. best of luck!

I couldnt tell you what i craved because i received mine 2 days after my surgery .. i know i loved my ice pops tho during that time... i think if you do Protein Shakes make some decadent ones like chocolate n pb add ice so its like a shakey type i loved that too anything with my choco Protein frozen peaches added some cinnamon things like that!! hope this helps

      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.
