Ok I'm 7 weeks. I've spent sooooo much money on protien. I have yet to find one I like. I try to get as much protoen in with food but I got a picky very picky sleeve. So I force myself to eat. And my portion r so tiny sometimes the serving size doesn't even fit. So how am I sure I'm getting enough. To my calculations I'm only doing 30-40 grams. And lets not talk about Water. My tummy cannot tolerate it. And I've tried sooo many difrent types of drops and water brands and nope my sleeve doesn't not like it. I live off gatorade. And diet grean tea.and I wanted to stop with the gatorade but I cannt. I'm scared I might not be doing something right. I hear everyone drinking so much protien and I'm cannt even come close. I don't want to get sick.

Try mixing your G2 Gatorade half and half with Water....That is the way I drink it and it has a mellow flavor and I am still keeping my elrolites up. The dietitian told me that G2 is good for you...It has sodium in it but not enough to cause problems.....

At 7 weeks out my stomach was really sensitive.....You doing great to be getting in 30-40 grams of Protein.....

I am 8 months out and still cannot eat pork or beef....Tried last night and I hurled it up (pork)

Everyone is different........Just go with the flow and it will get better....trust me K

      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?
