my doctor said guys labs for his patients have been on point with the patch. I like them, I dont have to feel nauseated or burp up the vitamin taste

my doctor encouraged the patches (I had gastric bypass) and said he routinely does blood work to monitor. He told me I can do either the patch or capsules but I feel like the patch is easier and it was cheaper.

I say give it a try, and if you feel like it isnt working just try capsules. you wont die from one week of trying them. I can tell when I miss my patch because i feel sleepy

Not the most fun topic to talk about, but I have been having bouts of watery diarrhea. It seems to come intermittently and I can't seem to link it to food, as it happens randomly. Today was pretty bad, and even trusted a fart I shouldn't have. My stomach has been burning and feeling just off.
I'm 4 weeks post op tomorrow. Is this normal? I'm concerned I'm going to dehydrate.

I made this today, and it's awesome: https://www.bariatriceating.com/2015/04/egg-custard-perfect-bariatric-food/
(I used half stevia, half xylitol, because that makes for a better flavor than stevia alone, but you should use whatever you like.)

I got sick with a sinus infection last week and was terrified it would postpone my surgery. After getting approved for leave for work, plus my husband getting leave approved for the surgery led to a lot of anxiety if the surgery was to be postponed.

At doctors today and he cleared me! currently in waiting room for pre testing. I go the 18th at 5:45 a.m., first case
Welp, pretty excited! Good luck to everyone out there!

I got some gowns, robes, socks...toothpaste, toothbrush. Wipes, in case I cant shower and i have some dry shampoo I'll take.

Prayers this URI or whatever wont postpone the surgery. I'll know for sure tomorrow.

Yes ma'am, in Shreveport.
I only lost the initial weight. Doctor did not put me on a preop diet, which I found odd. And I'm not looking forward to 6 weeks of liquids, but it will be worth it in the end. My goal is to lose weight and get in shape! Like Instagram model fit!

update: just got cleared by doctor, so surgery tomorrow!

Congrats and good luck!

Twinsies! Good Luck! and we are both in LA if your name is any indication.

Are you scared?

My surgery is this week, and I went ahead and bought me some stuff to take to the hospital. Some mouth rinse for dry mouth, a robe, socks, slippers, some gowns, toothpaste and toothbrush. I'll find out more Tuesday about what to take and what to expect.

The only really downside is I caught a cold on Wednesday and it hit me hard Friday and Saturday. Hoping this doesnt postpone surgery as getting LOA through work was a process. Undoing it and redoing it seems like a PITA but hopefully it will not come to that.

We’re almost twins! October 17 here!
