Are you looking for the BariatricPal Store? Go now!

Recommended Posts

How are you struggling? Getting the fluids in, the Protein, the solids, exercise? What seem to be the specific issues? Remember that at 6 weeks you are still very much in the healing stage. I felt that I turned a big corner right at 3 months. Hang in there. It only gets better. You've come through the worst already.

I'm 7 weeks out and struggle daily with meeting goals. I can exercise fine but just can't hold enough to get any significant protein/water. You're definitely not alone.

Me too. It’s a struggle to get Water, Protein, & exercise in for me, too. I can’t stand the sweet shakes, whey powder, and bottled protein water that I loved pre-op. I looked around and found the Bariatric Pal Store had powdered grapefruit, crangrape, lemonade, raspberry drinks that have 15 grams of protein per pack. This week, I put 2 packets in water in the am and I do the same in the pm and I’ve been able to get 60 grams in. But I am still short on the water and exercise.

      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?
