My name is Tammi and I saw my doctor today. I got a surgery date of this Monday the 8th at noon. I am so nervous/excited! I have labs in the morning and I am on my preop diet as of tomorrow morning. Things got a little rushed up because of my work/school schedule and thankfully my dr. is obliging me! Its been a long time of being sick and tired all the time. I look forward to finally being free from this body and able to really live again! I have over a hundred pounds to loose and I cant wait to start! Anyone know of a tasteless Protein Powder to mix in things. I dont like chocolate and I just want an unflavored one that is not gritty. Thanks!

Congratulations on your surgery date. I'm sure you're excited and nervous all at once.

Regarding unflavored Protein power, all I've heard of is unjury. Lots of people here love it. I was always able to use the flavored ones with no problem, so I only tried it once mixing with broth and it was pretty lumpy. But the Soup was probably too warm, which is something you have to watch. There are tons of Protein powders out there in fruit flavors, etc. so don't feel like you have to eat unflavored just because you don't like chocolate.

I drank the ready-made Isopure drinks. They're clear, so no grit and come in fruity flavors. My favorite was the grape - tasted a bit like watered down Kool-Aid. If you have a Vitamin Shop near you buy a few to taste-test and take back those you don't like and you can get a full refund. I did that several times and never had a problem.

Best of luck!

      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?
