How long do you freeze them? I'm afraid they will explode in the freezer...

I'd probably pour them in a bowl first. I haven't done it, but others on the site have.

You could always do Protein Water instead of the shakes. They are less thick and the texture seems more manageable. I got off those things as soon as I possibly could. I do Protein Powder in a smoothie now, but nothing premade or straight shake. Yuck.

I put mine in a bowl and freeze it about 30 minutes, so it ends up being like ice cream. Im also having this same issue with them going right through me until I started getting super creative (mostly bored with what I had), so I wanted to Dr it up.

      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?
