Got taken off 16 pain meds



Recommended Posts

went and saw my dr. for A1c blood work and all that good stuff, I took all my meds and told her I couldn't take 41 pills a day. she said that since I been going to the pain clinic for cortisone shots that she was taking me off 16 pain pills and watch how everything goes. im happy for that, so I will take the meds if needed.

now she wants me to start taking the Vitamins I need for the after the surgery, so that will b a add on of 12 pills (don't like it) and to take the rest of my meds.

Calicum carbonate, Multivitamins, Iron, Vitamin d3, B12, Biotin.< /p>

Prozac, metformin, imdur, abilify, Zocor, prilosec,, Zestril, glimepiride13 pills.

I am off

Lamictal, Flexeril, sumatriptan, Neurontin, tramadol total of 16 pills.

Now to go back and lose the 4lb I gained since I last seen my nut. making an appt today to see her even thou I don't have to I was cleared by my nut and psych, but she said I can go see her anytime if I liked.

ok now I need willpower to get back on track.

Wow that is a boat load of pills. Good for you though, your on your way to a better and healthier you! Vitamins are a lot better then that kind of meds. Less affects on your other organs! SWEET!!!!!!!!!! :)

You still need to watch the Vitamins you take, one of my doctors is all about healthy , they have lab made Vitamins, the kind that are derived from plants, fruits, n veggies.

Congratulations!!!

that's awesome...so glad that is being reduced...my doctor told me calcium citrate instead of carbonate, said it goes into the system better... after surgery you will probably will be reduced again! congrats, I know you were hoping that would happen!!!

I take Bariatric Advantage with Iron and calcium citrate chewables. . That means three tasty treats and only three Vitamins.

Much easier!

      Question for anyone, how did you get your mind right before surgery? Like as far as eating better foods and just doing better in general? I'm having a really hard time with this. Any help is appreciated 🙏❤️

      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? 🤷‍♀️
