Yo

Try taking Chia seeds in the morning and at night to help feel full longer during the day. I just started with grounded Chia seeds the week mixed with my Water and soy Protein shakes. I like how thick the shakes get and it really takes me a long time to get through the shake if I let he seeds sit long enough. A long time. that is highly unusual for me at this point in my post op journey. Overnight works really well too in the fridge. Try it out and see if it works for you. And as an added bonus, they are super high in the omegas and help with the "going" issue.

I eat somewhere between 600 and 900 calories a day and eat 6 x a day. Each meal tends to be about 125 calories. I mainly stay focused on high Protein, low fat, low carb and high Water amounts. It is important to get the supplements in as well since they will not come from food.

      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.
