What shakes have you tried? Is it the smell, taste, or texture, or volume that gives you difficulties?

If it is the smell, try sipping from something with a lid.

If it is the volume, try taking smaller sips.

If it is the taste or texture, try some different shakes.< /p>

Have you tried:

Premier Protein?

Syntrax nectar?

ProtiDiet liquid beverage concentrates?

It's very common for your taste to change following surgery.

What flavor do you have of the premier? Try adding some S/f syrups to change the flavor. I added raspberry or a little PB2 to the chocolate. Mix it up a little :)

Temperature can make it easier/harder, too. I liked mine REALLY cold, so I blended the Premier shakes with a little ice to make them lighter in texture and colder. I still have a hard time drinking RTD Protein shakes straight out of the carton.

Everything made me want to puke for about a week after surgery. Zofran was a life saver for me - do you have any? In the early days the best I could do for Protein some days was fairlife milk. But again only with zofran in my system.

      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?
