biginjapan 647 Posted January 26, 2017 Another "niner" here - I'll be having my surgery south of the border. I can't believe it's only two weeks away. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

sleevinpops 303 Posted January 26, 2017 Another "niner" here - I'll be having my surgery south of the border. I can't believe it's only two weeks away. Do you also have a pre-surgery diet to follow? Sent from my iPad using the BariatricPal App Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
biginjapan 647 Posted January 26, 2017 Yes, I'm now into my second week. I'm allowed two small meals (lean protein/veggies) and 3 Protein Shakes a day, but for this week I'm dropping one of the meals to see how that goes. I started yesterday and it was fine - I did not have hunger issues throughout the day (or cravings, which a lot of people seem to have). In fact, I probably could have gone without the meal.

sleevinpops 303 Posted January 27, 2017 I have similar and starting tomorrow. Protein shakes and no more than 24g of carbs, <6g sugar per serving and Clear liquids. Tough part will be next weekend (Super Bowl!) Let me know how you do tomorrow Sent from my iPad using the BariatricPal App Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
kimberb 323 Posted January 27, 2017 Had my pre-op physical and ekg today. It was good. I started pre-op diet today. I can't believe we're only two weeks out. I can see the losers bench Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Dennis Robins 19 Posted January 27, 2017 I don't have a pre-op diet other than Clear Liquids for 24 hours prior to surgery. My pre-op EKG was abnormal, so I'm stressing about the follow up with Cardiology. They didn't delay my surgery, so I hope it is minor. Did anyone else have any Vitamin deficiencies? I have to take Vitamin D supplements. Sent from my iPhone using the BariatricPal App Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
BandedBecks 26 Posted January 27, 2017 It will take a few months for a deficiency to develop. I had a LAP bad on the 23rd Jan. As part of my own plan Ive decided I will go ask the doctor to do monthly bloods for the first 6 months to ensure this. Also a deficiency can lead to hair loss etc...

sleevinpops 303 Posted January 27, 2017 I have to take the Vitamin D supplements as well. I also started the Biotin now as my Doc seemed to think it may help with hair loss down the road. To be honest, I think I'm gonna be shaving my head later anyways so not too concerned about that Sent from my iPad using the BariatricPal App Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
sleevinpops 303 Posted January 27, 2017 Would any of you be interested in setting up a group on myfitnesspal? I use it for nutrition and activity tracker, and think it may be useful to challenge and motivate each other through this process and journey. I can be found by my username Sent from my iPad using the BariatricPal App Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Ipeek90 64 Posted January 31, 2017 I too am going through Atlanta Bariatrics! Selected Dr Hart and had my initial visit about 2 weeks ago. Just had a physical for the blood work yesterday and had my psych earlier this afternoon. Feel free to add me to that MyFitnessPal group! Ipeek90 should be the username.
