So finding foods to settle during purees and soft food was a challenge. One night after not being able to get down my Jello I grabbed a banana. It was so good. However, I feel like that was what pushed me into a stall because I tolerated them so well I was eating one a day. Last week (official 6th week), I pushed Protein instead. I stood away from so many carbs. Perhaps my best week in many perspectives. I felt good, I ate but now my pouch has started becoming more restritive in the amount it holds, met my Water goals 5 days. I also saw it on the scale with a 5 lb loss. This is getting so much easier!! My single complaint is that mother nature is pushing me to crave chocolate. I tried a Protein Shake, my calcium chews are chocolate but they didn't satisfy the crave. Help!!

What about trying those Quest Protein bars.....I haven't tried them...but will be ordering really soon....I've heard lots of really good reviews....especially about the "chocolate Chip Cookie Dough Quest Protein Bar. Best of luck..and I know you will pull though!!

I am going to look those up. When I went to the grocery store I did look at the Protein Bars there but they had so much sugar and carbs. Thanks for the suggestion!

      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?
