I'm on day 3 of the liquid diet I don't feel ridiculously hungry but I cannot drink the shakes. Day one I had a half of one, day two one, and today nothing. I'm nervous about what my doctors going to say. Anyone else have this problem???

Bummer...could you try a different kind? If it is a taste or texture thing maybe you could thin it down with more Water. There are also Protein "shots" which are not much volume but still have the protein...I think you can get them at Wal-Mart...good luck!

I had the exact same issue. I went to Walmart and bought the shots which are only about 3oz and they have 27 grams of Protein. And a box of six would run you about $9 if you order it online to pick up at the store it is a couple of bucks cheaper. Good Luck!

I feel your pain. It was so hard for me on the liquid diet part. I found the GNC brand lean shakes were great they are 25 grams if Protein and like 3 grams of sugar. They were the best tasting ones. Believe me I tired them all. Keep going strong I keep saying if I could do it anyone could do it. It was so tough for me and I'm so proud I did it! Try the gnc brand ones they are pre mixed too. Pretty good tasting

      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?
