I'm in SC, on a 4 week liquid Protein diet 5 times a day and a meal. Surgery date 9/6/17. Been going pretty good, so I guess it depends on your doctor. My BMI is 35 at start and I only have to lose 10lbs before surgery, weight in next Thursday should be at 202lbs, I meet that goal last Thursday. That's one full week on Protein Shakes and 1 meal. Hope I can keep this up.

I was required a 1 week liquid diet. Did 1 week clean eating diet followed by a 2 week liquid diet. Did a green Protein Shake in the mornings to help avoid Constipation. 1 small frozen banana, 1 1/2 cups frozen spinach, 1 cup Water, 1 cup unsweetened almond milk, 2 tbsp of flax seeds, 1 banana Premier Protein shake, 1tbsp PB Fit Peanut Butter, 4 ice cubes. Blended this in a nutri ninja. Provided a thick delicious shake every morning that kept me full til mid afternoon. (39g Protein/10.5 Fiber) The morning shake made about 33 oz. I drank 1/2 early morning, and the other half before lunch. I then followed up with 1 Premier Protein shake (30g Protein) around 3-4 pm, and 16 oz. chicken Bone Broth (18g Protein) at around 7 pm. After that, maybe a sugar free Jello or popsicle for snack around 9pm. This kept me content all day every day, although I admit I had to doctor up the bone broth. Got tired of the same flavor. I lost 23 pounds during pre-op liquid diet, and didn't feel hungry or constipated. (I only lost 2 pounds clean eating the first week for a total of 25 pounds in 3 weeks.)


Cool, thanks for the tips.

      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?
