My surgery was on 9/3 had a hospital stay of 2 days. Feeling much better but having a little trouble with the Protein Shakes. Very tired of sweet taste! I am 11 lbs. down and have had no problems. I'm excited to get on the scale too! Good luck to you!

I hate the sweet taste too. I am surprised at that as I usually love sweets. Have you tried the Unjury chicken flavored or unflavored powder in Soups.< /p>

Congrats! I will be sleeved in October. I've been trying out different shakes and I hate the sweetness, too. I like to add Unjury unflavored to milk with some vanilla. If you add Unjury to Soups, don't heat above 140 degrees. I have read that some folks just drink the broth from a can of chicken Soup. Good luck!

I found that I could not tolerate the vanilla-flavored Protein post-op. I switched to unflavored whey powder & use sugar-free Torani, DaVinci or Walden Farms syrups for flavor or add it to Crystal Light/Great Value drink mix. I bought some at GNC to get me by while I waited for the 10-pound bag of Now Sports unflavored whey isolate powder I ordered from Amazon. It arrived yesterday, so I haven't tried it yet.

I'm still on clear liquids plus Protein shakes through week 4 post-op. I get to add pureed foods this Thursday. I'm so looking forward to that!

      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?
