I take effexor capsules every day. My surgeon told me to just open the capsule & swallow the granules. My capsule is pretty big tho.

New Life Started 07/24/12

I wish mine were granules, but it's nasty powder. I did swallow the capsule this morning and it went ok. I held it in my mouth for a little while and could feel it a little bit after i swallowed it, but it wasn't terrible.

My doctor gave me Wellbutrin and I took it two weeks in. He said it was more important to keep it in my system. Did not affect my weight loss at all (269 to 194 since May 3rd). I think it helped because I didn't deal w depression.

I had to stay on all my meds, topamax, librium and ambien. when i was in the hospital for 6 days they were not giving them to me and at one point i told the RN your going to move me from this floor to the crazy floor if you dont get me my meds.. Topamax is a main mood stabilizer for me at 300mg and i have had to have them get it to me in 50mg pills and take it all day long. it really sucks. I do wonder how i will feel once more weight starts to come off as i am only 11 days post op

      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.

      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! 😞
