I am in the pre op faze- I just got a batch of labs done-

I knew my lipids would be high, but I was shocked to see that my Vitamin D level was at 15! It said range 30-50.

Just wondering what you think Doc will do, we are still waiting for one other lab that's not resulted yet.

Also, being new to this site- I see on the app that I have notifications, but I can't find them in the feed- (?) iPhone is what I have.

Hey First I'll say good luck you'll be fine!!

Now as for the Vitamins no worries all the doc will do is have you take what ever Vitamins you are missing or in levels until it is at an approval level . Once you have completed that part you'll be approved and moved on to the next step.

When I was in the beginning stages I was low in B12 and my doc made me take the Vitamin shot and than as I said I was pushed to the next step .

As for this site you'll find your notifications in were it's says ... " More"

Hey first off Good Luck!!

As for your Vitamins your doc is just going to make you take the Vitamins you are low in or missing and once your levels have been elevated to an approval level your doc will move you to the next step to proceed with your surgery no biggie.

When I was in the beginning stages I too was low in vitamins , I was low in B12 and as I said I was directed to take the missing vits and that was that .

As for your notifications I too have an Iphone you can find them where it says " More" at the bottom of your app

      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.

      I have my final approval from my insurance, only thing holding up things is one last x-ray needed, which I have scheduled for the fourth of next month, which is my birthday.
