Preparation and advice!



Recommended Posts

Hello everyone! So I have a question of what to order and have in stock before surgery? I am scheduled for the sleeve on 12/4 and I have been researching a lot but what I put from others experience. Also has anyone tried the nectar Syntrax Protein Powder I was just thinking cause they have so many flavors??? I work in the hospital and on a busy floor and thinking Protein Shakes and shots might be good for me while working as getting breaks are hard at times. Any advice I would love and thanks in advance?

I really like the nectar ones. I ordered a sampler pack and ended up getting a big tub Peanut Butter cookie. Every morning, I use a half scoop of that and 1.5 scoops of ON chocolate whey from costco. Almond milk and ice. Blend. It's the one thing I have not gotten sick of yet.

Thanks for the advice I found a vanilla Protein Powder I like but was trying to find something with different flavors that had the Protein benefits. I’m glad to hear that someone has tried this brand because everyone talks about premier and I hate the taste of that brand.

My answer is.. nothing . Don't waste your money you can't predict what Protein Shake you will like or not. Taste buds change so much. If you do buy things tiny amounts . Alot of us encountered alot of waste.

nectar. Isn't bad.. but it's hard to get used to the flavour. Some people love it.

      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?
