Hi, my name is Teresa Powell. I had bypass on the 20th of October. I have lost about 40 pounds. I have been over weight for so many years that I decided it was time to do something. I want to ride roller coasters again. I am having the hardest time right now with the liquid diet I am not getting enough Protein in and I can not see to no matter what I do. The shakes are getting old and everything I put in my mouth makes me sick. The Doctor told me to drink Vitamin Water zero's or G2's well the G2's made me sick as a dog and there is only 2 flavor's I can handle of the zero's. I have 4 kids and I get something for me to eat (like soup) and I wake up and they have ate it all. I had such bad heart burn Everyone keeps telling me this will pass and things will be better I am just so ready to be able to eat and not get sick.

(1) How old are your kids? Are they old enough to know that mommy's food is "off limits"? If not, hide it in your room.

(2) I did Isopure rtd Protein clear liquid in a lot of flavors. Each 20 oz bottle had 40 ounces, I mixed it half with Water and sip the 20 oz over 3 hours. I also put a touch of stevia sweetening.

(3) Contact your doctor about the heartburn they can adjust your medicine or even change it. My doctor moved me from generic to Nexium and it seems to be working really well

Hope you feel better soon.

      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?
