Hey!! I had my sleeve on December 8th, my surgeon told me before surgery that I wouldn't be leaving the hospital on any diabetic meds ( I was on Metformin 500 mg twice a day and Invokana 300 mg daily).... I thought he was nuts!! I left the hospital on my B/P med and Crestor, but didn't take either, simply because I was afraid of them not doing down and making me sick. So two weeks after surgery I had a routine follow up with my PCP, and I no longer take any medications at all (except my bari vitamins)!!!! THATS WHY I HAD SURGERY! I'm so happy!!!

When I first started puréed I stayed with cream Soups, shakes and yogurt, when I started with the meat I started with puréed tuna, added low fat ranch dressing and I only could tolerate 1oz Sent from my iPhone using the BariatricPal App

Omj!! YEESSSS! I was given Miralax, I've had to take it twice!! But it works wonders, the first time I had to take a dose that evening then again the next morning, just the other day I was having problems and took a dose and by morning it was all good I like Miralax because you stir it into 4ozs of Water and drink it, it has no flavor so it goes down easy. You a Nola girl?? Me too, now live in Texas!! Sent from my iPhone using the BariatricPal App
