I am exactly 7 weeks out today and until about a week ago I was doing just fine - I could tolerate everything and was doing really well with both Water and Protein.

Well that's all changed....now nothing seems to agree with me. My stomach feels icky/nauseous every time I eat (or even think about eating). I'm not getting my protein, not getting nearly enough liquid and fighting to get about 600-700 calories a day.

Has anyone else gone through this? Any suggestions or tips? It's getting really frustrating! Not to mention my weight has stalled for over a week as I'm not getting enough calories. And I dont have any energy to exercise. :(

600-700 calories is almost at normal for where you are at. You might bump it up a couple more hundred calories.

Are you taking any Vitamins?

Yes - Iron, B12, Calcium, Biotin and a multi. My levels are all really good - was just tested the other day.

The Dr said I should be closer to 1000 a day now. And I was getting into the 900s for a few weeks....and that's when I was losing. Now I'm not losing.

I am exactly 6 weeks post vsg today. I understand where you are coming from..sort of. I too can hardly eat anything other than Protein shakes and if I am lucky a 1/2 cup of cottage cheese a day. Even fluids are tough still. I average 800 calories a day. I had my 6 week post op with my nutrition

Ist yesterday. She was happy with my progress. I was also told during my pre op,seminars that our new tummies can be just fine today and cranky as heck tomorrow with no rhyme nor reason. Just my thoughts...

      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?
