I took Contrave. The dose is 2 pills twice daily but I only took 1 twice a day. It worked great, I had no side effects. I lost 30 pounds. It is very expensive though. My insurance didn't cover, with the manufacturer drug card it is $92 for a bottle of 120.

Hi guys! I have been on soft foods since week 2. I feel pretty good. I lost 18 pounds since surgery but last week the scale did seem to be stuck. I left Friday for a trip to California. So far it's been ok. A little hard to get Water in. I have been staying with my sister in law but tonight we check into a hotel for the 4th. I'm pretty nervous about food. I did bring some lentils from home to eat but not sure if the hotel has a microwave available. Oh well, cottage cheese and yogurt will keep in the fridge, right.

Do you guys want to contact on Facebook? Or group chat? We should keep in touch after surgery! I want to know how you guys are doing.

Are you guys packing your bag and getting ready this weekend? I am only bringing a few things. Also, my husband has the flu. Last night fever, chills and diarrhea. I am so nervous that I am going to get sick. Only 4 days...

I just had a treadmill stress test last week. I had an abnormal EKG, delayed R wave progression. I follow up next week with the cardiologist. I am annoyed at the delay.

I think I will be May also. I have some pre-op stuff to do and my surgeon schedules out 1 month.

I feel the same. 2 days ago I was convinced I didn't want to go through with it and now I am again happy to be close to the end of my 6 month visit. I think it is normal to second guess big decisions.

I'm a nurse too! Pediatrics.

I was worried about that also. I asked the NP at the surgeons office and she said it is really not possible to NOT lose any weight. I met with the surgeon yesterday, she said that you need to exercise or you are much less likely to be successful.
