Immediately off of blood pressure medication after surgery. My surgeon even commented that my BP remained normal even during surgery and right after. Resting heat rate is at least 30 beats slower per minute. Stopped migraine medication immediately. Blood platelet medication reduced by half. Will continue to have everything monitored for awhile just to ensure all is well. Back, leg pain already greatly reduced. 4 weeks out tomorrow. Sent from my iPhone using the BariatricPal App

We are going to Vegas in May too! Looking forward to doing it with less pain and hopefully fitting better in a plane seat! Sent from my iPhone using the BariatricPal App

I had my surgery delayed because my blood counts were off. I was choked at the time but it was the right thing to do as I would have been at high risk for bleeding out. Sent from my iPhone using the BariatricPal App

I did this too. Such a waste. Sent from my iPhone using the BariatricPal App

I need to get one of those mug warmers too! Sent from my iPhone using the BariatricPal App

I agree! They don't show the part when the models spit out the burgers take after take while filming. Burgers are my vice too and I have the most difficultly with those commercials as well. Sent from my iPhone using the BariatricPal App

I think they just mean the humidifier settings, not the humidifier itself. Sent from my iPhone using the BariatricPal App

I find the older I get the less I give a crap what people think. Depending on the situation I may have even asked why they are looking at me that way. I have legitimate issues too. Sent from my iPhone using the BariatricPal App

I'm Canadian and am seriously considering travelling to your dr and self paying when the time comes. I'm just so impressed with the work she's done on you. Sent from my iPhone using the BariatricPal App

My NUT I'd protein goal focused as well. I have t been given a calorie goal at this point. As long as I meet my protein goal they're happy at this point. That may change once I'm further out though. Sent from my iPhone using the BariatricPal App

That's what I was thinking too. That it may be a binder in it. Sent from my iPhone using the BariatricPal App

Hello, I've recently graduated to soft foods. This is also when I was instructed to start back up with my Vitamins, Calcium etc. However it appears that I may have an allergy to the calcium citrate. I don't believe it could be anything else as it is the only new thing I've started taking. I will be talking to my team (dr, nut, etc) on Monday about it, but I'm wondering in the mean time if anyone else has had the same issue and what alternatives have been suggested/offered. I'm going to stop taking it over the weekend and hope this settles down. Thank you in advance, Paula Sent from my iPhone using the BariatricPal App

Same here. In fact, it was mandatory. Sent from my iPhone using the BariatricPal App

Yikes. I didn't think we were allowed to drink more than one of those a day? Sent from my iPhone using the BariatricPal App

That's what I do too. Just the tiniest sip. Enough to get it down. Sent from my iPhone using the BariatricPal App

My surgeon prescribed Pantaloc right from the get go. It's been working great for me. Sent from my iPhone using the BariatricPal App

I'm just three weeks out and I did it yesterday. Just two good size gulps and omg it was awful. Sent from my iPhone using the BariatricPal App

I'm in Edmonton too, but I just had RNY through the clinic. Sent from my iPhone using the BariatricPal App

It took me a couple of weeks before I felt comfortable laying on my side. I tucked a small pillow underneath to help with that pulling feeling. Sent from my iPhone using the BariatricPal App

I was advised to let the tape come off on their own. It took about 7-10 days for me. Sent from my iPhone using the BariatricPal App

I'm so grateful for my GP. It was her idea to refer me to our bariatric clinic a couple of years ago. I saw her a week after surgery for a check up and drop some meds. She was so happy for me she was Teary eyed. Said that this would change things for me health wise so dramatically. And it has already. No more high BP pills, no more migraines and my resting heart rate is 30 beats slower per minute.! I'll be forever grateful to her for encouraging me to go this route.
