So, I am 12 days out of surgery and for me in a week of full liquids which started last Friday. The first week I did great for all my fluids in and by the end of it I could eat a cup of broth, without a problem. Then week 2 started and while I struggled the first day to get my Protein in the next 3 I was able to 60 or above without too much trouble, in fact on day 10 from surgery day I got 600 calories in! Then comes yesterday, day 11 and I can't eat ANYTHING! I tried a Protein Shake couldn't finish but a 4th of it and I felt sick, I tried unflavored protein in a smooth Soup got two bits in and felt sick, I tried a greek yogurt bar, which i had been anle to eat all of a few days ago, got a 4th into it and same thing. Everything hurt going down and made me nauseous. End result is after walking yesterday I had a net calories of 28 and only 20 grams of protein. I feel exhausted and frustrated! What am I doing wrong? Do I force it down even though it might make me ill? Is it ok for some days to not be a protein success? I don't want my body to eat my muscle! I just feel like a failure for not doing my one post op job and exhausted from trying so hard to no avail!

      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.
