Thank you everyone, everything is coming along good on my shakes for 2 weeks I started drinking chicken broth because I was feeling week. Today 4/19/2017 am back at work and so far so good.

I actually cheeted 2 days before I had some cheese and yogurt I felt so guilty. But just had my surgery April 13 nd so far so good.

Hello everyone so I got my Surgery April 13, everything went good the Doctor said I had a big stomach. So my surgery took 4 hours I stood in the hospital for 2 days I wanted to make sure I didn't have any complications. I started taken my Triumeq the second day of my surgery but cut in 4 pieces. Today Easter Sunday I took the whole pill and it went down good, I been walking alot, drinking water from a baby cup, sipping on my protien shakes. Everything's been good so far am looking for coward for the upcoming days.

Phil good afternoon, I actually did get my answer, My PCP told me I could be off medication for around 2 days and to start taking it right away. About the crushing they don't really recommend it because there has not been a study about crushing pills. I am so glad to hear your doing well and you have your CD4 up is just hard because I don't know who to talk to without being judge or people feeling sorry. But am glad to hear that theirs someone out their going thru the same issue as me (Finding_Stacy you were right) Well Phil if there’s any info I could give you or help you with let me know. I been on a liquid only diet since Sunday OMG am starving lol am finally getting my surgery tomorrow!!!! 4/13/2017 I will keep everyone updated.

Good morning guys, So finally got my surgery date April 13. scared, Nervous all this emotions but happy.

I was told the begging if April, I haven't got a exact date. But am getting nervous but happy

Thank you for the support guys I really appreciated 🤗,with my family and friends I can't really talk about my status because as soon as I say something they start crying. I appreciate they love me but I need them to act normal lol. Ok but back to my surgery I called my Dr that's going to do the sleeve and they said no solid pills for 2 weeks to crush them after you could take regular pills. My HIV provider called me and said is safe to be off medication around 2 days and it was safe to crush but as soon as I was able to swallow pills to start taking them regular. I was so nervous and Google in every thing lol. But finally got my questions answer.
