Hi everybody. One week out of surgery, and my nutritionist recommended I maintain the clear liquid diet for two more weeks.
I came across this clear Protein Drink, incredibly delicious and does not cause me any problems. I just find an issue balancing with drinking Protein and drinking Water. Anybody else struggling with that? And does anybody have any recommendations regarding how I can maintain the balance?
Thanks!

You can try setting alarms for each. I had a strict watering schedule immediately after surgery.

Thanks! How did you work out your schedule? Alarms every half hour or so?

From my understanding, anything clear without caffeine is considered in your Water intake. So your clear Protein Drinks should count as Protein and water.

Thank you! I was thinking the same thing, but I just wanted to check! 😊

Yes, every 30 mins 4 oz of Water or whatever was recommended out of the hospital, I don't remember if I ever quite achieved goals that early out but I sure tried!

I hear ya! 😂 I keep trying to meet my drinking goals, but it seems like the day ends before I get a chance to drink what I should! Guess I can only keep trying!

      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?
