Back issues?
I've questioned the same thing. Even my hips hurt.

Meds
I had to stop latuda because you have to eat a large meal and obviously that's not gonna happen. I switched to something else, my thyroid medicine was decreased. I'm not on BP or cholesterol medicine anymore.

I love them. They are the perfect size and help get that protein in. If you have a Kroger store near you they sell them there and are a 2 serving size.

Anyone in Texas?
I'm in Rosenberg. I had the bypass in November 2016. Best thing I have ever did for myself. Just had my 6 month check up and I'm good for a year. No complications at all!

Can someone tell me what prescriptions are prescribed post op gastric bypass?
I was sent home with two weeks of lovenox. Well I got it three days before surgery but it simple and no pain at all. Not all people get it though, totally up to your surgeon.

Turkey neck
Why were you put on that? That's a harsh medicine, never heard of being put on it before surgery.

Can I have this?
I wouldn't, it has fructose and sugar. Those might cause dumping and that's no fun.

Timeline confusion
I have that insurance as well. The dr supervised diet is with a NUT once a month for 6 months. Do not gain any weight or they will make you do another month. I gained 3 pounds and did 7 months. They are strict on that.

My NUT and dr said decaf is fine.

To satisfy my craving I'll eat a sugar free Reese's cup, the little one in the bag. It does the trick and I'm good for awhile.

Gain weight during pre op liquid diet?
The pre op diet is to shrink the liver so there is room to get to the stomach.
