Yes, they just havent told me when I can increase my calories- the office

It's hard to eat 700 calories with 80-100 G Protein and almost no carbs or fat and keep it under 700.

That's with no Snacks. I have no calories for Snacks. I eat 3 times a day and exercise

If you are losing enough weight I would say by all means add more calories, but just limit the grains. I have absolutely no grains. Consider raw fruits and veggies to increase your calorie intake. At 8 months out I was beginning to experiment with the foods I am eating now. Keep it healthy, seasonal, and hydrating and you should be OK :)

      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.
