DS Surgeons (looking for some guidance)

Good Afternoon my peeps!  

 

As some of you may know, I am currently in contest prep for a bodybuilding competition.  I am 9 weeks out from the show and finding myself at a bit of a sticking point.  Bodybuilding coaches don't understand the DS and surgeons don't understand bodybuilding...so here I am!  I have an INCREDIBLE surgeon!  I truly love him from the bottom of my heart, I would just like to get some very specific guidance. 

 

I am wondering if any of you out there have a DS surgeon who I might reach out to for some additional guidance or even just to bounce some ideas off of with my prep for the bodybuilding show?  This has really been a learning process but I think my knowledge of the surgery and nutrition and dieting has been exhausted.  I would truly appreciate any suggestions or even if you know people I might be able to reach out to that would be amazing!  

 

Thank you SO much in advance!

I'm not sure how many DS surgeries he has performed, but I would try contacting Garth Davis. He is very knowledgeable about nutrition.

Good luck!!

Surgeons have zero special training in nutrition or bodybuilding.  Perhaps a better source of ideas and information would be with a good, experienced WLS savvy dietitian.  I think I can put you in touch with one if you're interested.
