Dr was impressed with how I'm doing. ☺️. He asked how I'm doing with food and all and said it sounds like I'm close to green. He only put 1/2cc in this time as he doesn't want to get me too tight. I definitely feel a difference. I have been able to go 4 hours between meals but always felt I could eat more than 4oz (tried real hard to keep myself at the 4 though). Yesterday and today I've been full much before my food is gone. I really hope this is it. I'd be *thrilled* to be in the green zone already. Not sure if it's possible but I'll take this while it lasts.

I have no idea how I'll get my required Protein now though as I struggled to get it eating my full meals.

Yeah for close to green! On days that I feel I am not getting enough Protein I add a shake. Not as a Meal Replacement necessarily but as added protein and counting toward my hydration. Good luck!

Thanks for the tip! They aren't my favorite thing in the world but if it gets me my protein I'll do it! I also made an appointment with the nutritionist to see what ideas she has.

I still don't think I feel the restriction people talk about but I do really feel the band is working. It told me tonight I was done eating dinner even though I wanted more. Its definitely a lot of mind issues too but 99% of the time I won't let my mind win.

      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?
