guys I'm 2 weeks post op . & im struggling with the shakes . I have a big family so there's always food prepared and I eat a tiny tiny bit of what's available even though most foods aren't in my diet . I went to the nutritionist today cause I had an appt and she set me straight so I don't need any scolding but if you are whatever . I just have a question when can I start introducing fruits into my diet for fruit smoothies and Protein Shakes . What's so bad about me having a fruit smoothie with no sugar and 40 grams of Protein .

Sounds like a question for your nutritionist as well. I had specific guidelines with dates of when I could introduce foods along the way. I was allowed peeled and pureed fruits without seeds in stage 3... days 18-27. But it specifically says "after" Protein. In other words, don't fill up on fruits and not get your protein in.

You should have asked the nutritionist that. Also a fruit smoothie with no sugar is a bit of an oxymoron. If you're having fruit, you're getting sugar. Where would the 40 grams of protein come from?

      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.
