Hi, Im having some issues with getting in enough Protein. I'm 4 mo. out, should i still be taking in Protein Shakes? I still feel like i am not eating enough, though i am not hungery. Does anyone have an example of what they normally eat in a day and how often. Maybe I should be writing my intake down? Also does anyone have issues with swallowing pills?

check out this thread:

to get an idea of what people are eating - there are other threads in the food/nutrition section to get an example.

i will still have a Protein shake / smoothie several times a wk. i try not to treat them as a Meal Replacement - even though it might be the first "meal" of the day.

pills - not such a problem, but i don't take anything other than an asprin here/there.

I'm finally getting alot of restriction with 10cc in my band and now am having problems taking pills. I'm also eating ALOT less these past couple of weeks so I do try to drink a Protein Shake if it seems like I'm not getting enough solid Protein in.

I am 2 1/2 yrs banded and i have a Water with Protein Powder and a Protein Shake each morning. There is no way i can get all my Protein in without them. They also work out great being as im super restricted till mid afternoon, curbs the hunger in a big way. Any medication i may take i crush to powder form before even attempting to take 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?
