Preop Diet, muscles freeze up on walk



Recommended Posts

I decided to walk during my lunch hours so I can stay out of the cafeteria at work during my preop. Day one was fine. Day two I got about halfway through and my muscles refused to move. I waited a minute and was able to walk, but didnt walk the same distance as yesterday.

I am trying to figure out if this is diet related. I had no soreness after yesterdays walk and it was only about half a mile, but I havent walked in a long time.

Going to try again tomorrow and see how it goes

Are you taking alot of artificial sweetener like Splenda?

I found out that I am extra sensitive to Splenda, it gives me real bad muscle cramps, I thought I had MS.

One day I was making coffee and I was pouring in Splenda and bunch came out, I thought "oh well it will be extra sweet"

Twenty minutes later my hands and neck would cramp with every movement, it scared the heck out of me.

I try and alternate between the artificial sweeteners so I do not get to much in one day. The protien nectar I picked up are the two flavors that are sweetened with Stevia.

      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.
