My NUT said that I needed to focus on getting the minimum grams of Protein a day and that I could space it out throughout the day however was comfortable. I need 65 grams a day, so I make a shake in the morning and get 35 grams (24 from the Protein Powder and 11 from the 8 oz of skim milk plus). It takes me about 45 minutes of sips to get the whole thing down, but it makes me feel better to know that I have gotten over half of my minimum out of the way first thing. If I haven't gotten close to 65 by dinnertime with other stuff I've had during the day, such as yogurt, Soups, etc., then I have another full shake with 8 oz skim milk plus at dinner. Good luck and find what works for you!

      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?
