Bypass vs sleeve?
I'd question your doctors capability. I have no idea how the sleeve could be more complicated than the bypass. I chose the sleeve basically because I had no GERD issues and I wanted to keep the same biological food processing methods as before my surgery. In my mind this minimizes complications over my lifetime

Calories per day
My nutritionist told me 1000-1200 calories for women(60 G protein) and 1200-1400 calories for men(100 G protein). Carbs under 100g was desirable as well.

Gatorade
I drank Powerade zero the first week after surgery and now drink Gatorade G2 from time to time. Should not be a problem to drink Gatorade but need to watch the caloric intake with fluids is my suggestion

Calorie (and macro) goals?
1) 1000-1200 for women and 1200-1400 for men 2) 60 G protein for women and 100 g for men. 100 g carbs max 3) None 4) No, but am lax on the carb requirement. Couple days a week go over probably

Sleeve over RNY what was your reason
I choose sleeve. Main reason was to keep same digestive process in place and also avoid need for continuous supplements and/or not have to avoid NSAIDs I may need later in life for other reasons

How long is the hospital stay
I stayed 2 nights after sleeve and hiatel hernia repair. Would've went at 1 night but I had issues with vomiting which prompted the extra night.

So... what is a good amount of calories intake?
My nutritionist recommends 1000-1200 calories for women and 1200-1400 calories for men. 70 grams protein for women and 100 grams for men. Carbs under 100g per day. Thanks and keep up the good work

eating too fast?
I'm now about 18 days post op. I can eat much faster for soups and liquids. A protein shake(11 oz premier) takes less than 10 min, 1/2 can of soup takes 15-20 min. Ivan feel the restriction with a 1 egg cheese omelette. Sometimes I wonder if my sleeve is normal due to fast times for liquid consumption but I guess everyone is different. Thankful everything I've tried is going well.
