OFFICIALLY GETTING SLEEVED NOVEMBER 24!!!!!

im on my pre op diet which consists of 3 high Protein boost shakes per day and nothing but veggies in between.....

DOES THIS GET BETTER?

my body feels cloudy, STARVING, anxious....

will my body adjust?

my shakes have 33 grams of carbs in it per shake, do I need to go into ketosis in order to shrink my liver/???

Have a fourth or fifth Protein shake if necessary. It's okay. You still won't get more than about 1000 calories. You might look at lower carb shakes, though. Premier Protein Shakes have 30 grams of Protein, 160 calories, 1 sugar, and 5 carbs. Try drinking 4 or 5 of them and 64 ounces of other Fluid like Water or Crystal Lite. It still won't be easy, but it should help.

Drink some G2 or Vitamin Water Zero....it will help with your electrolytes. And I agree with the others who suggest Premier Protein...more Protein, less carbs.

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.

      I would like to know what questions you wish you had asked prior to your duodenal switch surgery?
