Had the surgery yesterday and I feel wonderful. I'm still in hospital and will probably go home tomorrow. I'm also 66 years of age and can't believe I feel so good. My problem is that clear Protein they are giving me. It is gagging me terribly. Are there any alternatives I could suggest to my doctor. Anything???? HELP!!!

I am still learning, and I am on week 3 out of the hospital. I was allowed NOTHING. :P Nothing for you! (not really) I was allowed Water, sugar free Popsicle, which I do not like, ice chips, and Jello, which I do not like, and packages of broth ... "broth" they call it, in little powder packages.

SO I had the Water and "broth" packs and ice, that's it.

If you had surgery yesterday, that seems very progressive to have Protein mixes this soon. I can't remember where I read it, but some nutrionist told me that the Isopure was not actually loaded with Protein we could use because it was "denatured". I thought that was a clear protein. Oh well. Ask them what they are doing to you! =)

      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?
