Was told not to drink our calories, so how do you get all of the Protein you need ? I'm kind of hungry and I'm 12 days out.

In the beginning, you have to have Protein Shakes. My program had us drink them for the 1st two weeks post op. Then we advance to purée.

I LIKE my Protein Shake in the morning. It's the perfect Breakfast food. When you get up in the morning your body has gone many hours w/o eating or drinking and needs both fluids and Protein - a shake provides both. An hour or two later I have a solid meal. :-)

This varys a great deal clinic to clinic. I think most encourage Protein Shakes at least for the first few weeks. I am nearly 11 months out and I still drink one shake a day. I know some people that have more and some that don't drink any now. As time passes you will be able to make many more choices on what you will be eating. Good luck!

      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.
