Yes the old man was right. Many years ago we all tried the no carb get to ketsosis and use the strips to make sure. Well looks like after sleeve we are all on Dr Atkins diet. Lol. I have lost weight on Atkins and ordered the bread years ago read his books. Well have to say the man was right. But the only problem was we never can stay on that diet. Now we really have no choice.

I've never been told no carbs or to even watch carbs. I was given two rules; 70 gr of Protein and 64 oz of Water which I'm still struggling to do. I guess they figure if we are following the rules there's no room for much else, lol.

Why do we have no choice? The sleeve doesn't care what kind of diet one uses - whatever works for one's weightloss needs is just fine, and we don't have any of the physical dietary limits that the bypass has. Granted, with the caloric restrictions and Protein minima that we have, our diets are inherently low carb and low fat, but that's just a temporary thing.

      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.
