WOW! there is a lot of us (looks like we are all from the South too)! My pre op diet is liquid for 7 days prior, but i think i may get a day or so head start. Has anyone started zinc, etc for hair loss? I am so worried about Hair loss because my hair is thin anyway...

I dont have anyone close that i can relate the WLS so i am so excited to join!!

Gonna add all of you to my friends list (once i figure out how:)!

I am so glad you asked the question lil.ole.me....now I don't feel totally alone in all this...I'm on a two week no carb diet which I've tried numerous times in the past and it is not easy for me but I am motivatied by the fact that this will be the last "diet" that I will suffer though, lol!!! I was told by my nutritionist to finish off my prenatal Vit. and then just take a multivit but I'll ask about the zinc because I do not want to lose my hair...I go on Friday to watch a 2 hour power point and get instructions for the final week from my coordinator and nutritionist and Monday I have a pre op appt. with my surgereon after which the count down begins whooo hooo!!!!!!!!!!!!!

valleygirl806: No carbs were always tough for me too and UGH at the headaches BUT your absolutly right about it being the last "diet" as long as we all eat healthy and exercise after we are sleeved-this should in fact be the last diet!!!:lol0: I am going tonight to get Zinc and more Multi's, let us know if you learn anything from your Power Point on Friday!

To the rest of us (including TiffanyisMajor) :001_smile: 10 MORE DAYS LEFT!!!!

I currently take 10,000 Mcg's Of Biotin a day for my hair, I have been more about 3 months....Just hoping it helps later. I havent bought my good Vitamins yet, I WILL be taking twinlab Daily Ones, because I wont need them for like the first two weeks because I will be on chewables anyway.Also I started a vlog on Youtube about a week ago to document all the stuff I am doing before, during, and after. You guys can watch all of my useless info I spew at:

I have to do low carbs for 1 week. I have never been successful at the low carb thing (obviously) because after about 3 days I can't even think straight... I literaly get confused and can't focus.

I'm trying to keep my carbs up around 40.... hopefully that will help. To be fair, I was doning NO carbs before! Nothing really works well when taken to its ultimate extreme.

      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.

      Day 1 of pre-op liquid diet (3 weeks) and I'm having a hard time already. I feel hungry and just want to eat. I got the protein and supplements recommend by my program and having a hard time getting 1 down. My doctor / nutritionist has me on the following:
      1 protein shake (bariatric advantage chocolate) with 8 oz of fat free milk 1 snack = 1 unjury protein shake (root beer) 1 protein shake (bariatric advantage orange cream) 1 snack = 1 unjury protein bar 1 protein shake (bariatric advantace orange cream or chocolate) 1 snack = 1 unjury protein soup (chicken) 3 servings of sugar free jello and popsicles throughout the day. 64 oz of water (I have flavor packets). Hot tea and coffee with splenda has been approved as well. Does anyone recommend anything for the next 3 weeks?

        All I can tell you is that for me, it got easier after the first week. The hunger pains got less intense and I kind of got used to it and gave up torturing myself by thinking about food. But if you can, get anything tempting out of the house and avoid being around people who are eating. I sent my kids to my parents' house for two weeks so I wouldn't have to prepare meals I couldn't eat. After surgery, the hunger was totally gone.
