I'm a longtime lurker to this forum., but this is the first time I have posted. I mainly want to say thank you to all the veterans (I'm sure you know who you are). who have shared their advice and tips., wth others. I've absorbed it all and I believe thats is playing a large part of why I feel so good. Granted I am also still in hospital and medicated. But I've been walking, walking today. Around the hallway. Tomorrow I will start drinking. Hoping my luck hold up. No questions from me today. Just a big giant THANK YOU!!! Before I turn in for the night

Great News! Take it slowly. Ramp up to the Protein and Fluid goals. If you need help with getting Protein into things like applesauce, Soup or yogurt try GENEPRO unflavored Protein powder. 1 tablespoon has 30g protein and 98 cals. I still use Premium protein (Choc and vanilla) premade drinks from costco. 30g 160 cals. Couldn't have kept my protein high without these 2 products. Best Wishes!!

      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?
