Hey Guys!! Anyone else have this issue. I was a month on liquid and now I’m in the second month of only purée foods. But after my first week of puréed I gained 3 pounds?? I freaked out a bit. I’m eating 500 calories at most is that too much?

I wouldn't worry too much about the weight gain. Even at 2 months out I'll fluctuate 1-3 pounds either way throughout the week. It's likely Water retention and it will level itself out.

500 calories doesn't seem like a lot. My nutritionist advised to focus on Proteins first and foremost. On my 2nd follow up appointment later this month they are going to give me a template on calories, carbs, etc.

Just stick to the foods you can eat, try to get the 60-80 grams of Protein and try to make sure it's quality protein too.

You're doing fine. I worry a lot too but it you are doing what your doctor said, you will be ok.

      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?
