I'm on the 9th too! So close but still feels like forever to get here! Very excited but still a little nervous.

Another "niner" here - I'll be having my surgery south of the border. I can't believe it's only two weeks away.

That's great! Looking forward reading my fellow 9'ers updates as we progress!

Do you also have a pre-surgery diet to follow?

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.

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

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

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.

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...

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

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 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.
