You can't change what you did so just start afresh. The new surgery date is 20 days away so you lots of time. What are your pre op rules and for how long? My surgeon wanted me to do 2 weeks of just Protein drinks but I did 18.

Get all the support you need from here. Buddy up with others who are starting this at the same time as you. You will be fine !!

Make sure to schedule your shakes and plan high volume/low cal meals for dinner. If you have to decide these things when you are hungry it will be so much harder. My shakes were at 8:00, 12:00, and 4:00, then dinner was some kind of meat and veg. I had the same diet as you, but I had to also keep it under 1000 calories, so I bulked out the meals with lots of veg. These were my best meals:

Salmon and roasted carrots, Brussels sprouts, and cauliflower

A big salad with turkey chili, salsa, a small amount of reduced-fat shredded cheese, and a tbsp of sour cream

A big salad with grilled chicken, red onion, cucumbers and a home-made tzatziki sauce (low fat Greek yogurt, garlic, lemon juice, dill)

After that, I was pretty satisfied and would maybe just have a sugar-free popsicle or a sugar-free Jell-O before bed.

I'm not saying it's easy, but planning makes all the difference.

My surgeon said liquid diet but my nutritionist said real food rather than Protein bars. I only use 4 Oz of pure cooked chicken breast in my bariatric Soup. Losing every day. Once salad and chicken .

      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.
