Weight gain, two weeks out from sugery



Recommended Posts

I am so afraid of Hair loss, so I'm going to try the premier, & at the hospital where I got my surgery they have ungery so I'll give that a try too if the premier doesn't sit well. It's so hard when my family eats dominos pizza & McDonald's & subway, Culver's & Arbys. Sometimes I'm tempted to take a slice of dominos & lick it. But I don't, I'm a good girl. But the temptation is so hard. Ugh, I find it so hard with all these foods I used to eat & love smelling up the house. I'm 3weeks now & I was told one Protein Drink a day but it just seems odd when were not getting Protein any other way. Has any of your Drs. or nutritionalist said any different ?

I would say at least 2 Protein Shakes a day if you aren't getting enough through food. That's what my NUT said at least. You need a MIN of 60 grams a day of protein.. (Yeah right) but I can manage at least two shakes which is about 46 grams.

Mine said two a day or at least 60 grams. I'm only 4 days out now and only managed to get down an ounce or two of premier yesterday.

      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?
