9 days post op - feeling good - but drinking too much???



Recommended Posts

I’m 9 days out and feel really good! Have been walking a little everyday since I’ve been home. I have been drinking Premier Protein shakes and am able to get all 11 oz in within 20 - is that bad? Too much?

I was like that as well and the PA at my surgeon's office said not to worry about. But if you're concerned, I'd just call them and ask.

I had my surgery on 11/13 and my Premier Protein drink is done in 20-30 minutes. I just like to get it over with - it is most important for me to get it down period. I will be glad when I get down to 1 a day and then none - which will be a while.

So long as you're drinking without discomfort, you're fine. Some people have it easy, others have to go extremely slowly due to swelling. You appear to be one of the lucky ones! (As was I)

Nope, you're fine. I too was able to get mine down in 20 mins at that time if I worked at it.

      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?
