Follow what your dietician says. I know in my first week even though my Surgeon wanted 60-80 grams of protien. My body wasn't ready. I took sips of protien waters but I worked on fluids more. Slowly you should feel better digesting things and build up what you can tolerate. Hang in there it will be better. I will be 3 weeks out on Monday. First 10 days sucked. I also had an infection in my neck and head lymphnodes which sucked even more. Good luck

Follow your plan it will take time to work up to 60g protien.

Good luck xx

I was sleeved on Oct. 4. My dietician said that fluids were more important the first week than Protein, but I haven't even had half a bottle of adkins lift since surgery. Is that a problem?

Most important are your liquids right now, Protein will become easier every day. I suggest Isopure or Proti Diet is a protein flavored mix you can add to your Water that is flavored so you get both, your fluids and your protein. They have grape, blue rasberry, orange and many other flavors. Each box brings about 8 packets and you mix the Syrup with 10 oz of Water.

      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.
