Someone suggested drinking a Protein Shake for Breakfast and lunch for a few days with lean meat and veggies for dinner. Make sure you're getting >60 grams of Protein and > 64oz of fluids. It broke my 2 week stall with a 4 pound loss and lots of changes in my body. The only thing is that I don't know if it broke the stall or if it just broke on it's own. It's worth a try, though. Good Luck!!!

Another suggestion my NUT tells me is to have at least one meal w no carbs. Preferably the evening meal, but not necessarily. She said something about it wakes up the body or something.....she told me this in preop in May so i'm really digging into my memory bank. Can anyone confirm this? Or did I make it up? :-)

I am going to try the Protein Shakes again, but to be honest i hate them :-) any suggestion with the shakes? ? After surgery i can't tolerate any artificial sweetners so this is a hard one. Thank you for the suggestions!!! :-)

      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.
