Should you start taking Biotin before surgery?

I've been taking it since August. It's caused some extra Hair growth on my face but nothing horrendous

Good Luck everyone getting sleeved tomorrow. My surgery day is Tuesday and I can't wait. Today was the 1st day of my clear liquid diet and it sucks. I cooked a huge batch of jambalaya last night and my family is eating the leftover while I drink white grape juice :/ Thankfully I'm allowed to drink a Protein Shake if I need it and I've had 2 today because my blood sugar wasn't liking the simple carbs. I wont know my surgery time until tomorrow but I'm praying it's first thing in the morning.

Good luck to all those getting sleeved tomorrow and throughout the week.

I'm away for work and am staying in a hotel. Wow is temptation strong. Hello ...room service? !? Today is my first day here and ill be here till Thursday. Packed my mini blender and Protein Powder. I've been good so far. I'm doing preop and am 12 days in out of 27. Is it bad that I would rather sleep than feel tempted? Just keep reminding myself that this is all to get my skinny girl self ...its all worth it.

Is there anyone that's on insulin here my question is how did you control your blood sugars to make sure they didn't go to low and can you blend up fruit in those Protein Shakes

I'm 43 and I have 3 small children. I have a great husband but I'm still concerned about being "out of it" after surgery. I've chosen not to tell many people until after surgery so I'm worried about being able to take care of my kids that 1st week.

Anyone in the same boat? : /

      Two years out. Lost 120 , regained 5 lbs. Recently has a bout of Norovirus, lost 7 pounds in two days. Now my stomach feels like it did right after my surgery. Sore, sensitive to even water.  Anyone out there have a similar experience?

      April Surgery
      Am I the only struggling to get weight down. I started with weight of 297 and now im 280 but seem to not lose more weight. My nutrtionist told me not to worry about the pounds because I might still be losing inches. However, I do not really see much of a difference is this happen to any of you, if so any tips?
      Thanks

      Well recovering from gallbladder removal was a lot like recovering from the modified duodenal switch surgery, twice in 4 months yay 🥳😭. I'm having to battle cravings for everything i shouldn't have, on top of trying to figure out what happens after i eat something. Sigh, let me fast forward a couple of months when everyday isn't a constant battle and i can function like a normal person again! 😞

      Iʻm roughly 6 weeks post-op this morning and have begun to feel like a normal human, with a normal human body again. I started introducing solid foods and pill forms of medications/supplements a couple of weeks ago and it's really amazing to eat meals with my family again, despite the fact that my portions are so much smaller than theirs. 
      I live on the island of Oʻahu and spend a lot of time in the water- for exercise, for play,  and for spiritual & mental health. The day I had my month out appointment with my surgeon, I packed all my gear in my truck, anticipating his permission to get back in the ocean. The minute I walked out of that hospital I drove straight to the shore and got in that water. Hallelujah! My appointment was at 10 am. I didn't get home until after 5 pm. 
      I'm down 31 pounds since the day of surgery and 47 since my pre-op diet began, with that typical week long stall occurring at three weeks. I'm really starting to see some changes lately- some of my clothing is too big, some fits again. The most drastic changes I notice however are in my face. I've also noticed my endurance and flexibility increasing. I was really starting to be held up physically, and I'm so grateful that I'm seeing that turn around in such short order. 
      My general disposition lately is hopeful and motivated. The only thing that bugs me on a daily basis still is the way those supplements make my house smell. So stink! But I just bought a smell proof bag online that other people use to put their pot in. My house doesn't stink anymore.
