I use a 16 ounce rubbermaid bottle. I know that if i fill it up 4 times in a day I have had the 64 ounces of liquid I need. I use alot of crystal light and continuously have the bottle filled and drink from it. I usually go over the 64 ounces recommended in a day.

I figure you have to do 8- 8oz glasses a day. My first 8oz is my Protein. Then I do Breakfast. I drink 2 more 8oz before lunch. After I wait for 30 minutes I will drink 16 oz Water with Crystal light. Around 3 or 4 I have another 8oz Protein Drink. After dinner and my wait..I will have a cup of chicken broth. The rest of the evening I will have sugar free Popsicle and some Jello or some more chicken broth(that feels good going down) And that there is 64ozs!

      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?
