I swear ever since I had my surgery 6 weeks ago I her been so absent minded amongst other things!

I accidentally took my BC twice this morning! I took next sundays BC! I bought a pill box so I can easily just take my pills without having to sort it all every morning and without thinking about it after I took my pills I looked at my BC package and saw it said Sunday and I was like oh I didn't take it and then after I took it realized omg yes I did! This is next Sundays!

Anyone have any ideas what I should do???? I have been on the pill for a very long time and this is the first time doing this! Uuuuggg!

Thanks in advance!!!

Very early on I was told that I would need to find a new BC method because the pill will no longer be effective post surgery due to my new stomach it would no longer be as effective. So I changed it to the IUD before I had surgery.

Thanks ladies. I actually have my tubes tied and take the seaonique pill so I can skip my periods. I was just worried taking 2 pills would make me sick and I wasn't sure what to do.

I know my subject isn't Really sleeve related topic. Thanks for the advice!

I don't think two pills will make you sick. I have a habit of forgetting to take mine and my doctor tells me as long as it is within forty-eight hours of the missed one, to just take two. I have never been sick or had any problems. Of course, as with all non-medical advice, your mileage may vary.

Because of problems with my hyperplasia, my doctor was trying to get my period under control after my blood transfusion. She had me take 4 bc pills a day, for 2 weeks straight and I never got sick. You'll be fine!

      I've hit a stall 9 months out. I'm not worried, though. My fitness levels continue to improve and I have nearly accomplished my pre-surgery goal of learning to scuba dive! One dive left to complete to get my PADI card 🐠
      I was able to go for a 10K/6mile hike in the mountains two days ago just for the fun of it. In the before days, I might have attempted this, but it would have taken me 7 or 8 hours to complete and I would have been exhausted and in pain for the next two days. Taking my time with breaks for snacks and water, I was finished with my wee jaunt in only 4 hours 😎 and really got to enjoy photographing some insects, fungi, and turtles.
      Just for fun last week, I ran two 5Ks in two days, something I would have never done in the past! Next goal is a 10K before the end of this month.

      Hi everyone, I wrote back in May about having no strength. I still get totally exhausted just walking from room to room, it’s so bad I’m using a walker with wheels of all things. I had the gastric sleeve Jan. 24th. I’m doing exactly what the programs says, except protein shakes. I have different meats and protein bars daily, including vitamins daily. I do drink my fluids as well.  I go in for IV hydration 4 days a week and feel ok just til evening.  So far as of Jan 1st I’ve dropped 76 lbs. I just want to enjoy the weight lose. Any suggestions or has anyone else gone thru this??  Doctor says just increase calorie intake, still the same.

      Losing my hair in clumps and still dealing with "stomach" issues from gallbladder removal surgery. On the positive side I'm doing better about meeting protein and water goals and taking my vitamins, so yay? 🤷‍♀️
