I am 5 weeks out and still not able to tolerate shakes ( I've switched from reg skim milk to almond milk and it helps a little). My best option was using unflavored Protein in the chicken broth. Just need to make sure the broth is less than 140 degrees before adding powder or it will curdle.

Everyone is different. Some ppl seem to have no prob with shakes post op.....I'm not one of them though. :)

Try small sips spaced out. If you are drinking thicker shakes too much at one time may upset your tiny stomach.

Try making them with more liquid. I also had the same problem for a long time. At Walmart they have a liquid whey Protein mix it with Water and freeze. Then eat ice chips all day long. This way you get some protein with liquid. The whole tube is I think 42 gr of protein, I would divide it into 3 servings, makes it easier to track protein in ice chips! Good luck

      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?
