I would like go share the only way I am able to get my Protein in, as after surgery i cant stand the Protein Drinks. I mix protein mix ( choc or van) and mix with 1/4 cup of Water. (I use a small 3oz container with lid). I mix this with my Decaf coffee 2x daily. Tastes like a coffee ordered from the shop and does not taste like a Protein Drink.< /p>

Brilliant! What a clever woman you are! Think I will be doing that when I am home and recovering. Had enough of the shakes on the pre-op diet.

So we are allowed Decaf coffee? Obviously it must cool down a bit before sipping?

I was drinking piping hot decaf the day of my surgery and I've never had any issues with hot things. My nut says decaf counts as a Fluid, so u get both in.

I'm going through similar issues. Today is 1st day home from hospital. My question to you is how long does your drink stay warm??? I am making a hot cocoa portien drink in the morning but the cup is 8oz. I have divided it to 2 mugs and stuck one in the fridge. The 4 ounces goes cold before I finish it - I can drink 4 oz no problem, but I am scared to do it (drink too many ounces at one sitting)

I did that all the time before surgery. Haven't tried it yet since, only because I don't have any Decaf coffee at home lol

      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.
