Anyone out there have the ds or wls that works the night shift? Is there any differences for you versus someone that works during the day. I have not had it yet but i have noticed that im usually low on Vitamin D and now they tell me copper too. Just curious with different eating times and sleeping times how that may affect things lol. Of course im probably overthinking things again. Lol

I was bad low with Vitamin d. I read that a lot of obese people are.

I work nights and my Doc said Vitamin D was extremely low.

Most people are low on Vitamin D whether or not they are obese. Most do not spend enough time outdoors in sunlight so need supplements to not be low.

Yeah I work the night shift and I take Vitamin D every morning, as my levels were low (as it seems is has been for most of us night owls). As for how it affects anything else, it pretty much doesn't. My eating schedule is what it is, I take my supplements when I'm supposed to, and just try to squeeze as much Protein and Water into my day as I can. I think it's actually easier during the night shift, because there is no prescribed "time" where everyone goes for lunch, and I don't deal with the social aspects of that. I can do my own thing.

When I work the night shift the biggest problem I have had is freezing. I used to enjoy 65 Degrees and now I freeze at anything below about 80. 6 month out and it is getting a little bit better. Have also had some problems with mild muscle cramping in my legs and chest. Guess I need some more potassium. Since I switched to Bari Life complete Vitamins it has gotten a lot better.

Aren't you supposed to eat your meals at night if you are doing a night shift as you would during the day?? I used to do night shifts and will probably do a couple in the near future, too. I was planning on taking out my food and Proteins at night the way I would during the day.

        Me too girl!! Are you in the full liquid diet right now? It’s sooooo hard!

      2. LadyVeteran1

        Not yet. I was told I only have to do 24 hours of a liquid diet. But I have my pre-op tomorrow so I’m going to confirm if I need to do longer.

        Your so close now! It's gonna be great :) Wishing you a speedy recovery and looking forward to seeing how it goes!

      Down 33 lbs and slightly stalled, but I'm gonna reevaluate and push through. I started back to work last week after 2 years of being disabled due to mental health as well as my weight. It's a great job and I'm just so happy to have this opportunity at a second chance at life. Hope everyone is having their best journey ❤️ Together, we got this!

      Hi everyone! I’m brand new here. I just went through all my pre-op requirements per my insurance company and now everything has been submitted and I’m just waiting for final approval and my surgery date. I’ve been doing research, watching YouTube videos, TikTok’s, ect.. trying to prepare my mind and what to expect so I’ll be ready for the surgery. I was so sure and so set and so ready and excited. However, now that I’ve done everything & it’s almost here, I am sooooooo scared! I know why I want it bc I’ve tried everything and I just don’t feel like I can lose weight by myself. I’m tired of being overweight my entire life. I’m miserable, but I keep psyching myself out afraid of GERD bc I know how that can be and I don’t want to have to get a bypass after already gaining the courage to even get VSG. I’m scared of complications like I’mgoing to regret doing it and be depressed that I didn’t just be more disciplined and try again to lose the weight on my own even sitting here typing this knowing in my mind i just can’t and don’t possess the discipline. I’m also afraid I won’t be able to handle the restrictions of the sleeve. What do I eat? I don’t know how to eat healthy really and don’t enjoy healthy food. I don’t know how to do this! I feel so defeated!Someone tell me they felt anything similar to this or am I not ready? I thought I was. I am so tired of being sick and tired and so tired of myself and so tired of being stuck and stuck in this body and somebody different on the outside from what I feel inside. I just want to ball up and cry.

        Am feeling this right now. My surgery date is 4/1. Sign the consent tomorrow. I feel like I overloaded myself with too much info, too many opinions. Got to the point where I was wondering if I should do this. Then I thought of my reasons for taking this step and that settled my nerves. Still get moments of doubt but am striving forward. Am just going to follow my book from the surgeon. Joined this because I was told by my dietician that I should do this for support
