New benginnings…



Recommended Posts

Just returned home today after surgery Friday. Aside from the 6 holes and internal goings on, it’s been smooth sailing. Just have to get a routine down of what to intake when…any help is greatly appreciated!

I had sleeve. I’ve been having Protein Shakes, crystal light, Bone Broth with hot sauce and Protein Powder, fage 0% yogurt with tajin seasoning, a little cream of wheat with broth, and Protein Water. I’m getting pretty tired of the full liquids.

Fellow Mini Gastric Bypasser/Omega Looper here! Congrats on getting yours!

My main focus is getting in my Protein and Water, which I double-up on with protein water twice a day (28g protein each), and protein-fortified soy milk (10g per 250ml). Then my supplement Vitamins just before bed so I don't risk accidentally washing them through my system with water. My routine is protein water as soon as I get up, and another in the afternoon. I have regular water and protein-fortified soy unsweetened matcha lattes (maximum of 2) throughout the rest of the day, leaving spaces for solid food. Since you've just come out of hospital, you're still on liquids, so you've likely been told to have Protein Shakes. If you can tolerate them (I tried my best, but after six weeks, I just couldn't do the shakes anymore so switched to just protein water), then you'll skate through, but if you can't then keep protein water in mind.

      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?
