How far out post op were you before you did your first set of labs?

Any one get totally shocked by the results?

First post op labs were at 3 months. Then 6, then 9. No surprises really, just pleased with the results from the Patches I'm using for my Vitamins. All levels were within normal ranges at both my 3 and 6 month post-op follow ups.

I am hoping mine will be fine as well.

At first I was concerned because I couldn't take my Vitamins. But now that I he switched me to capsules I am doing much better. Just anxious about it because I want to know how they look.

3 months as well. Low on Vitamin A, had to down my B12 to every other day, Protein was low but I was transitioning between stages and was not able to reach goals the few days prior to blood work. Otherwise looked good. Surgeon and PCP were pleased with results. I'm doing another round next week (1 month-ish later) so they can re-check everything.

      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.
