Hi just wanted to see if any other doctors have required you to go off birth control pills. I have to take it for my bad endometreosis . Anyone else told to stop taking the pill?

Im not on the pill but my dr took me off everything but my blood pressure & acid reflux med, mite b sumthin n it they dont want mixed with surgery meds my surgeon gave me a whole 4 page list of medicines that we could not take within 10 days of surgery and the only thing the paper said was take blood pressure meds with a sip of Water the morning of surgery.

So I had my pre-op today. Turns out I have some gall tones so my surgeon is going to take out my gall bladder also. Curious to know if anyone else has to have that done. Also I am now on a 600 calorie diet till surgery day on the 15th! Shouldn't be bad' date=' I still get chicken which I love![/quote']

After having my son by C Section in 2000 I had to have mine removed and it was a breeze mine was done just like the RNY was done except less cuts Every one looks at me like I'm crazy Cuz I'm not nervous but this makes my 4th surgery and I'm just not nervous about things like this I'm more like "BRING IT ON" sounds crazy rite idk maybe I will get nervous when the weekend comes.:)

Oh yeah blood pressure and Water pill, usually if it is a blood thinner or things on that line u have to stop so u wont bleed easily when your on blood thinners it makes it hard to stop bleeding medicines like coumadin even aspirin is a blood thinners. I just looked at the list and birth control is on it.

22 days down and 5 more to go of my liquid diet. I didn't struggle really until last week I was so hungry just like today and I know it was all in my head I think I just wanted some food I could chew and I don't mean sugar free popsicles or mints I mean food. I'm just tied of tasting this Opti Fast And it don't make it no better when I got 2 kids to cook for and I have to make their food.

Trying different flavors in my Protein drinks, this morning I had unjury chocolate with Hazelnut flavoring... yummmmmm.

13 days to go!!

      I have no clue where to upload this, so I'll put it here. This is pre-op vs the morning of my 6 month appointment! In office I weight 232, that's 88 lbs down since my highest weight, 75 lbs since my surgery weight! I can't believe this jacket fit... I am smaller now than the last time I was this size which the surgeon found really amusing. He's happy with where I am in my weight loss and estimates I'll be around 200 lbs by my 1 year anniversary! My lowest weight as an adult is 195, so that's pretty damn exciting to think I'll be near that at a year. Everything from there will be unknown territory!!

      I changed my profile image to a molecule of protein. Why? Because I am certain that it saved my life.

        That's brilliant! You've done amazing!! I should probably think about changing my profile picture at some point. Mine is the doll from Squid Games. Ironically the whole premise of the show is about dodging death. We've both done that...

      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! 😞

        I may have to have gall bladder surgery during my weight loss surgery. Not thrilled about it either but do not want 2 recovery times. Just want it over with.

        Thanks for your post. I may need to rethink my decision... :(
