Hi I have been prescribed topiramate 50mg nightly and 500mg metformin nightly for weight loss , has anyone else experienced any weight loss on that combo? And how much ? Thanks

I had weight loss surgery on January 17 2017 . I was 244 . I got down to 210. Today I am 245 . I started on some weight loss pills prescribed by my doctor ( topiramate and metformin ) my appetite is reduced. I can only eat about 2 chicken wings before I’m full . I ate a cup of food and was full normally I was able to eat what I was eating post surgery . I think I have a second chance here to get my eating under control . Can you guys give me some advice . I don’t want to f@&k it up. I’ve lost 2 lbs since taking the pills these past 4 days so I think they are working ......

I’ve had counseling . I know why I eat . It’s due to boredom. But actually it wasn’t the food . It was the alcohol that took me out this time. I was sober for 3 years . Flunked out of nursing school and picked up the booze . The pound cake back easily. Now I’m fight a battle on two fronts . I’m clean two weeks going on three taking it one day at a time . I’m bored but I’ve decided to come out of this pandemic clean and sober and lighter with new eating habits

How much did you all lose or are currently losing on pre op diet? Sent from my LGMS210 using BariatricPal mobile app

How much is everyone eating? I'm one week out and can eat 2 oz but still hungry a half hour later . When will I be able to eat more at least 4 to 6 oz?

Hey y'all, had surgery on 1/17 .. hw 256 , sw 243, cw 233.... haven't lost any pounds this week.. 3rd week

For me , a con is the amount of food I'm able to eat... I didn't want to eat the large portions I was eating but now I'm eating less than my toddlers. And my life still revolves around food now instead of thinking about what I want to eat, I'm thinking about what I can't eat.

Maybe your pancreas if it's not your gallbladder?

I feel great. I haven't been nauseous or thrown up. I'm on mushies and can eat pretty much anything ... I actually don't purée everything , sometimes I just chew it well. I did this surgery so that I can eat like a normal person . Instead of eating 5 cups of pasta , I'll settle for a few oz... I don't plain on changing much of my eating habits , with the exception of McDonald's Big Mac.. I know that's gone forever... good luck to everyone

My incisions are healing nicely , the glue is coming off but when I sit up I'm in so much pain. I'm good if I'm laying down but sitting up for more than 10mins and I feel a pulling and burning pain. Any one else experienced this ? I'm scheduled to go back to work next on 2/7. I have a desk job but sitting is going to hurt if this pain doesn't go away.

I had ghi-cbp and empire as co insurance. Empire is the one who authorized my procedure so I had to do 6 months in stead of 3 ... follow up with your insurance because I was denied at first

I'm on day 2 post op.. still in a lot of pain..especially when I walk .. just finished some cream of wheat with protein.. it went down well ... no pain unlike when I drink water.. it feels like a cement brick going down

I'm in pain.. trying to walk is painful. And this is with pain meds. I've had 3 c sections and pushed out one so I have a high tolerance for pain but this is ridiculous.

Surgery scheduled for 7 am. I'm scared. Not of the surgery, but of the change that's coming. I'm tired of being fat, but food has been my addiction for so long. I stop drinking, I stopped smoking , and now I'm loosing my last crutch. How will I cope with disappointments, anxiety, or When I'm having a good day and want to eat my favorite foods( all at the same time). What do I do with the emptiness?

Thank you for that . I screen shot your post so that I don't forget.

My insurance wanted 2 extra months of visits..

I didn't want to post until I was approved because I was denied by my insurance back in November .. but I was approved baby!!! That's right 1/17 is my date .... and .. I was promoted to supervisor start on 2/15.... so I'll be starting my new job on the light side ... 2018 bout to be lit!!!!

My surgery date is 1/17... I'm going to start my pre op diet on New Year's Day

I'm going on one year with my locs.... I figured my hair would shed any way... i hope I don't lose patches

January 11

I confess..I had 2 WEEK pre op diet but was denied a day before surgery...I lost 11 pounds but gained it all back...now waiting for new surgery date to start 2 week diet again

I won't have my date until December 26...i was denied in November so I'm a little more subdued this time around

I'm so angry...apparently I have split insurance of ghi and empire bc b's and ghi only needs 3 months but bcbs wants 6 months of weight loss efforts..so they denied my surgery..after ive spent money on protein shakes, mentally prepared myself for sugery with the 2 week diet and submitted fmla paper work..smh... Now I have to wait..and all i want to do now is eat my disappointment away...
