My nutritionist stated that a sugar free popsicle is considered 2 ounces (they’re more like 1.5) so maybe have more of those if you’re having trouble getting in Fluid? If I have 2 a day I am able to surpass 64 ounces of fluid. I just do popsicles, Water and Protein Drinks. I tried Jello but wasn’t feeling it and I really can’t fathom broth (too hot for me)

I hear you on the gas and bloat. It does get better. For me it was around day 10-11. It was uncomfortable like I was pregnant. The struggle is real. My surgeon's nurse said it was probably due to Constipation and recommended Miralax. Yours is a bit different. Peppermint oil on my belly helped, peppermint tea helped and so did Maximum Strength Maalox or a generic version of that (it is a thin liquid that worked better than GasX for me). I to highly recommend Premier Protein Clear. I would have that over the other shakes any day of the week.

Guys! I went to GNC and found a gem. I can tolerate this so much better than the thick Protein Shakes. Tastes a bit funny at first but I definitely reccomend these. 40g per BOTTLE! And each one is like 5 dollars.

      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?
