3weeks Post-Op Help!



Recommended Posts

Drink slowly over the morning before lunch. Or I drink it down before I workout (a 7.5 mile walk, which burns ~2000 calories at my current pace) I don't think that during cardio level exercise the body ignored any food, especially 10 oz of liquid, it burns those 300 calories first, then it's left with the Protein. My NUT it thrilled at my Protein intake, I wind in around 120-140+ grams a day. You could also drink 1/2 before you workout and 1/2 after. I have yet to be told to reduce my amount of protein I intake in a shake. I see my NUT Tuesday and will discuss this with her.

      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?
