Hey baby



Recommended Posts

My doc requires only puréed Protein for 2 weeks post op. He wants it to come primarily from natural sources, so not too many shakes. Just had beef and gravy baby food for lunch. Not too bad with a little salt. 8 grams of protein. Is anyone else using baby food?

How many grams of protein does he want you getting in a day? After making and serving purees for 12 years at my old job i don't know how I'm going to stomach it.

Puréed chicken, beef, pork, turkey, eggs

Fat free cottage cheese

      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.
