Anyone who has had RNY in the last week or two mind sharing a day in the life of what you're eating and drinking, including amounts and times you're consuming them? I ask because I don't think I'm getting in enough food, Water or Protein and need to try something soon.

I have a trick to get in fluids and Protein when you don't feel like it. It worked for me so maybe it will help someone else!

I have a timer that I purchased on Amazon that clips on to my bra and every 30 minutes it vibrates. I have a thermos with a Protein shake in it and a thermos/water bottle with Water or tea or flavored water, etc. in it and I switch between them every 30 minutes. Each time I take a drink I'm getting roughly one ounce of liquid and if you stick to it you will get your daily needs met. It usually feels natural to me instead of how I feel when I look at a ginormous Protein Shake and try to drink it all at once..daunting! Then when it's time to add in other foods, I just skip two buzzes which would be an hour, eat a few ounces, skip two more buzzes which is another hour and then go back to switching back and forth.

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.
