Make sure you are getting the Protein you need and are not dehydrating. If you are unable to eat because you are full atleast drink some Protein Drink. You probably still have some swelling from surgery. When that goes down you will be able to eat and drink more. Good luck and congratulations!

If you are only going to eat once a day you definitely have to supplement with Protein Drinks or shakes. I use Dymatize Elite Cafe Mocha Protein Powder with 8 oz of milk and throw in some ice and blend. I have that every morning and I REALLY like it. I also drink Isopure Protein drinks (clear) which come in about 8 flavors and served over ice are VERY good, and you can also cut them with a little Water if they seem a little sweet for you. You need to be getting in about 60 gm of protein a day.

      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?
