I have been advised that the progestin only pill will not be effective. Has anyone else been in the same situation and if so what alternative did they use

I saw a hematologist while In the hospital for the surgery and he was the one who actually suggested the mini pill to me.

My Dr office only sells the Carmel and chocolate Peanut Butter ones. I got the Carmel. MUCH better than the chewable wild cherry. Those were disgusting!

I got on the BA website and did the online chat with a representative and they are sending me a free sample of Vitamins for the bypass. You guys should go on there too, free is always good and that way you can try theirs without having to buy a bunch!

Seems to have gone well. Made a small burger in brown gravy. It was very moist and easy to eat.
Thanks for all the responses!

I had ground beef and no problems I just out some reduced sugar ketchup on it.

Today marks my 1 month post op day and I am excited to share my news. I am down 37.4 pounds! It's so nice to have clothes from just one a few weeks ago start to be too loose to even wear. I may not be able to eat all the great stuff my family and friends were able to eat last night at the 4th of July picnic but today I feel great being closer to a skinnier, healthier, happier me!

I'm having some trouble with this well. Not being able to gulp drinks has been my struggle at getting all the Water needed. I now fill 2 - 32oz bottles of water to make sure I get enough or at least as close as I possibly can. And I just found out from my nurse the other day that the water shouldn't be refrigerated which sucks.
Oh- and I am 4 weeks post op too

Just had my first salad today and I am 7 weeks out. It was delicious! I used a lite vinegarette for dressing.

Kelly827..... 30 lbs in your first three weeks is amazing.....congratulations!
