Recommended Posts

I just turned one month yesterday.....

How are you guys doing after one month??

What are you eating? I still prefer soft stuff.

Are you able to drink your Protein? Me most of it.

Are you drinking all your fluids? I can't.

Are you guys exercising yet? I'm afraid to start.

How about them Vitamins? I'm taking regular pills

Any hair issues? I'm also taking Biotin to try to prevent.

How's your energy? I'm starting to feel much better, feel my energy coming back..

Think im doing ok for the most part. a little over a month out... got kind of tired of the thick shakes so i started making my own portein drinks with a diet ocean spray drink of some sort and Protein powder. pretty tasty and a nice break from the shakes.< /span>

My energy level comes and goes. some days i feel like im good and ready to go. other days im like look, today is going to be a 'no do nothing day'.

Vitamins would work so much better im sure if i remembered to take them. I take about 7 pills a day so I usually try to pack them up in advance and always run out of the house and leave them behind on the counter.

still eating mushy type foods....canned chicken has become my best friend. I'm learning to make all sorts of chicken meal variations.

and then theres the Water....just like the vitamins...my Water intake would be so much more if i would just remember to drink it. at first i couldnt drink just plain water. needed some sort of drink enhancer in it but now i cant stomach the mio's, crystal light makes me nauesous and that dasani water stuff....forget it. don't know whats going on with that.

i get cleared for exercise at my 6 week check up in october. really excited about that! i miss zumba

glad you're feeling better!

I'm 5 weeks out today. My doc put me on B12 shots once a month because i was so tired. My hubby didn't like giving it to me but he got over it!! I think I feel better?? I can eat most anything as long as I eat slow and sm bites. I bought a pill box and set my pills up for the week and keep it on the counter right by the frig. Haven't forgot once since i did this...

      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?
