I’m 21 days post-op from VGS..I have been on purée phase since day 14 (to go to day 30). I have been drinking my pre-op shakes still and doing a little purée, but honestly, I’m just not hungry. It takes everything most of the time for me to want to eat. Anyone else dealing or felt like this around this time?

Starting W: 268
Day of Surgery W: 253
Today’s W: 234

Embrace this time. Don't eat! Get ALL of your fluids in and MORE!!! And do what you need to meet your 60g of Protein requirement. That's non-negotiable. 2 Premier Proteins and you're done. Boom baby! Then go about your life as normal!

Don't force yourself to eat. You can make it on fewer calories and Protein Shakes. Enjoy this losing phase.

Stalls happen. Don't up cals or lower them. Just focus on meeting your Protein goals and following your doc's rules!!

I have my post-op surgeon visit tomorrow. Most (if not all) rules have been by my NUT/team. I have followed their book, except eating those little meals. I get all my Protein a day (shakes aren't the problem) and am hydrated! I will keep the course, no matter what! Thanks!

      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?
