Are you on a liquid diet? You should not be drinking juice as it has too much sugar. Stay on the Protein drinks. The first 3 -4 days are horrible, but after the sugar is out of your system for that long, it is much easier.

@@mgiii, call your surgeon's office when it opens in the morning. Speak with the dietitian to get exact instruction on what to eat and drink until your surgery date. Tell the dietitian what you have been eating and drinking (including the kinds of juice you are drinking). Be sure to tell the dietitian about your health concerns, meaning about not being able to eat Jello or popsicles. Also be sure to tell the dietitian about your trachea or tracheotomy (I am not sure exactly what you meant). Before the conversation ends, please be sure that you understand everything. Ask questions about any of the instructions that are not clear 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.
