DIDN'T GET PROTEIN REQUIRMNETS TODAY..



Recommended Posts

I was more thirsty then hungry today. I did get some Protein but not near my goal..it's the first since I've been postop. Not goin to worry about it. I'm wanting food! Had a few small things today. I chkd in myfitness pal..I have had less then 600 cal today. Which I'm pretty sure that's still the most I've had yet. I made some infused Water been drinking it the past 3 days..nbetween. maybe that's keeping my appetite down tday. I baked a pear while ago..sprinkled some cinnamon a touch of butter an drizzled some honey over it. I've managed to eat half of a half..the other is going back in fridge...I seen some others this wk not having much of a appetite how's that going?? Otherwise I feel really good. Yea I get fatigue if I do a lot still pace myself...but that's been away of life for me for 10 yrs or so...hoping when weight gets off that will improve not holding my breath..:)

It is vitally important that you get as much Protein in as you can. It's a daunting task but without enough in your body you will have a hard time staying hydrated, will be at risk for blood clots, and you won't heal as fast. If you don't like the Protein drinks there are other things out there. Protein needs to be your focus at this point. If you are on solid or even soft foods, cheese and yogurt are your friends. Chew well of course whatever you decide to eat. fruit should not be on the menu. Sugar is not your friend and fruit is jam packed with it. It may taste good but you will be undermining your fast weight loss you'll experience at the beginning of this process. Also if you have a sweet tooth, it may encourage you to try to eat other sugary substances.

Protein, walk, protein, walk. Hydration is important as well.

      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?
