I would rather be fat/current state than ever have to deal with logging 13 ingredients for a wrap into MFP.

Choices. :D I'm the last person to impose my way on anyone, or judge someone for it. :D It works for me. And all i REALLY know is what and how much I don't know. And I do absolutely support and respect someone else doing things in a way that makes them individually successful--especially when it's a different way than mine! I learn something new from the peeps here everyday!!

Happy New Year to you!!

The nutritionist at my doctor's office is not particularly helpful. I was hoping that someone could give me some guidance as to how many ounces of food I should be eating at one time if I am four months out from a gastric sleeve? Does this amount change later on? If so, when? Thanks so much for any guidance!

Sorry your nutritionist was not helpful

My instructions, three oz of Protein. I added veggies and other item on my plan when I had room to fit it in. I ate slowly and followed my signal of full.

No one can say when you may feel less surgery restriction. It’s different for each of us. My experience - Six months out, I could feel less sleeve restriction. Years out, my sensation of full and food volume is different. I logged and stayed within my weight loss calories and macros. It was a great way to learn the basics.

This plate may help give a visual of volume – follow foods allowed on your plan (starch was not on my plan)

      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?
