Ok so I am 4 weeks post op and I feel like I'm eating and drinking ALL THE TIME! I try so hard to get my Protein in with drinks and shakes and food and then on top of that the Snacks and Water. So this comes to this question. What does your daily eating schedule look like! And pointers would be great cause again I feel like all I do is eat (small portions) and drink and scared its stretching my pouch!

I eat 3x a day...was told not to snack. Breakfast: dannon light & fit greek yogurt.

Lunch: 2 oz turkey lunchmeat & 1 oz cheeze

Dinner: 2 oz tilapia/2 small pcs broccoli.

I still need 1 Protein shake (30g) per day to supplement so I drink that at some point between meals.

Need to have water completes before walk is over.

Bedtime: Drink 16.9 oz water bottle

The more you drink the more water you can take in in less time. In my shakes I do half milk and water and that counts toward my water count too.

My surgeon instructions are to eat 3 meals a day NO snacking in between but make your meal enough so it will hold you to your next meal without snacking. Sometimes snacking can get out of hand so I try not to snack at all and just eat at meal time.

      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.
