hello everyone!

I got banded on 10.16.07, and my doctor wants me on high Protein for two weeks! I'm half way through but this is getting old because all i am having is the Isopure shakes. Is there anything other then Protein Shakes that can give me the 60-80 grams of protein i need per day?! Please let me know thank you!

Hi,

Hope you're recovering well from your op. I was banded 10 months ago and I was told to eat custard, yogurts and Protein Drinks only for the first few days and then soft foods for another few days and then on to regular food.< /span>

But as we know doctors differ and we should only do as our own care provider instructs. The idea of the protein is to aid healing in the early days but you can get your protein from custard and yogurts also.

Good luck on your journey. I wish you well.

      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?
