Hey all.. I know everyone is different and out nuts recommend different amounts. I'm trying to find a baseline for calories for peeps that are 8 months post op..I average around 1200-1500 calories a day and surprisingly have been tolerating. I'm a bit nervous about that much.. Is anyone else tolerating this amount too?

My surgeon said while loosing 1000 a day or less. I'm not anywhere near that because of my stricture. Once I get past it that will be my limit.

My Dr said to keep it at 600 calories. Now that I burn 1000 calories a day she up'd it to 800.

      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?
