I am taking it 800-850 calories a day. I have 1 egg with 1 oz low fat cheese in the morning (total 180 calories- 20 gms protein), lunch is either a shake with skim milk (135 calories-33 grams protein) or sashimi 3-4oz ( 200 calories- 26 grams protein), and dinner is 3-4oz of seafood, usually crab cakes (200 calories-23 grams Protein. Sometimes, I have a butterball turkey burger ( 220 calories-31 grams of protein for 4 ounces, but I usually only have 3oz). For a snack, I have no fat Greek yogurt 80-140 calories with 13 grams of protein or a gelatein 20, which has 78 calories and 20 grams of protein. However, the latter is only when I need to reach my protein goals. I start Water early morning so I can get in my 64oz.

Correction, I checked my food log, I am getting in an average of 600-700 calories daily, as I am not finishing all of my soft foods. However, the Protein count is correct. I make up the Proteins from the sources stated in my previous post.

Thank you so much for all the advice, encouragement and overall response! Your words have REALLY helped me.

I can't wait to try a support group and will start tracking my foods more.

All the best to you all! ;-)

      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?
