You will be able to drink and eat again! I promise...your tummy is really swollen and has to calm down!

Right now tho, you need to focus on staying hydrated and not on Protein. That is not important at this stage of the game! Your health is!! Sip your Water and broth and watever other liquids you can and don't worry about the Protein for a few weeks. You will be fine!!

Kelly :D

Kelly is right, hydration first! Protein will come (or not, in my case...I'm a month out and just recently tried some samples that people sent me and could tolerate those!) in time. It's very hard on the tummy. Some people are lucky and can stomach it right away and others can't. It made my tummy hurt like heck, made me gassy, vomit and then finally diarrhea. They just killed me. Try again in a week or so, this is what I was told to do so I'm passing the advice on to you.

I too went through that phase of detesting the Protein shakes! You are not alone. I just made my 2week post op, and i moved onto mushy foods (egg/cheese/fish). That will happen before you know it, Until then, you can try the tubes that GNC sells called Smart Protein if you find yourself falling short of your 40-60g of protein via shakes.. I would have the Smart Protein tube (only about 3oz liquid but 45g protein!!).. Just keep the protein intake and you will soon get to the eating phase.. One step at a time :)

Congrats!

This sounds a lot like the New whey from GNC that I tried. Although the New Whey didn't agree with me, it gave me horrible heartburn! To be fair though, most things gave me horrible heartburn at first lol

      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.

      I would like to know what questions you wish you had asked prior to your duodenal switch surgery?
