So this may be a dumb question but I am dying for a different flavor other than freaking vanilla or chocolate for Protein Shakes and was wondering if the whole, no fruit or veggies thing counts if it's all blended up? So if I made a spinach, mango, and peach smoothie with Water and zero chunks? And of course with some Protein Powder thrown in (yay unflavored unjury!). Oh and I'm 7 days post op and on full liquids until Sunday when I get to start purées!! Thanks for the help!

Hi, this early post op I would ask the NUT. My advice is just stick with what they told you to have, I know it sucks to drink the same things. You do not want to irritate your stomach or your staples. All the best!

I was allowed, but I kept the fruit to minimum. So it would be either a half a mango OR a half a peach and a handful of spinach. I then added Protein powder, Water and ice. Just check with your nutritionist if this is allowed.

Use your vanilla base and add essences e.g. strawberry, banana. You can also try things like mint essence in your chocolate shakes.

      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?
