Progesterone with my HRT patches



Recommended Posts

If you are taking an oral progesterone tablet, it is important to note that gastric sleeve surgery may affect the absorption of the medication, as the stomach's capacity to hold and release food is reduced. It's important to talk to your surgeon and your pharmacist to ensure that you are taking the appropriate dosage and that it is still effective after the surgery.

You may want to consider taking the tablet with a small amount of liquid, and taking it at least 30 minutes to 1 hour before or after meals. This can help ensure that the tablet is not affected by the reduced stomach capacity and will be fully absorbed.

It's also important to note that some tablets may not be able to be crushed or split, so you should always check with your pharmacist or doctor before doing so.

It's always a good idea to talk to your pharmacist or doctor about your medication regimen before and after the surgery to make sure that you are taking the appropriate dosage and that it is still effective after the surgery.

      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! 😞
