You better hold your nose because Protein is not something you want to skip. If you do you really will end up sick.

Why not explain it to your NUT and ask for some alternate Proteins that you could try? There's got to be something that you'll be okay with. You probably just haven't found it yet.

Me too! For me it was just sugar free hot cocoa with unflavored powder in it. I've tried tons of others and for the most part they just all taste disgusting. I've noticed that my reaction to a lot of foods (not just Protein Drinks and powders) has changed. I'm really not even the same things I did before surgery because I can't stand it.

Why not just get your Protein from food? At 9 weeks you should be able too, no?

      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.
