What does your program allow? All are different.

My week 4,5 &6 allowed the following protein: canned tuna, canned salmon, white flaky fish, egg in any form, low fat cottage cheese, lactose free skim milk, plain yogurt, low fat cheese, Beans.

Call your nutritionist and talk specifics with them.

It's the same food plan. But I fill like I need more or missing something. It's very hard

It is very hard. I'm not getting enough Protein but my practice told me not to worry about it. It will come with time.

Are they letting you have protien/meal replacement shakes? I think my program allows for shakes to be sipped through the day if more protien is needed or if we're not getting enough nutrition. I would suggest asking the docs office or nut

Pretty sure the only thing that helped me get through that stage was "egg salad" and chili.

I made the "egg salad" by scrambling some egg whites then mixing in mustard and fat free Miracle Whip.

I did attempt to mix in the occasional tuna salad, chicken salad, etc..., but nothing else really tasted near as good to me.

As for noodles - nope, they're not allowed in my program. However, I have recently started having zucchini "noodles" which definitely satisfied the craving I had for Pasta. But I doubt I'll ever be trying regular Pasta again.

      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?
