Can i take metformin????



Recommended Posts

I was on 1000 before surgery but after being banded it was too much and my sugar levels dropped way too low. Metformin is the generic of Fortmet which also comes in an extended release. Fortamet is smaller with a coating thy makes it easier to go down but it is more expensive. Of course you need to discuss everything with your physician.

Your body is going to go through so many changes. Your primary care provider should be following you at least every three months to monitor the changes and adjust your meds as necessary. I had lots going on with my blood pressure until I went totally off it.

I'm taking it for fertility issues, as I have insulin resistance and it affects your eggs. I do nit have pcos or diabetes. I've found a pharmacy that can get the liquid form, which is Riomet, and ill start it on Monday. My first pharmacy said it was unavailable do I thought it was off the market but I guess that's not the case. Thanks all for your input!

      Hi, I’m new here. I’m currently on the liver shrinking diet. So far so good, but I have to say I haven’t found a protein shake I like. Anyone have any suggestions please? My surgery date is September 17th.

        Fairlife Core are by far the best. They taste just as they are - chocolate milk. You can either get the 26 grams or the 42 grams (harder to find and more expensive). For straight protein look at Bulksuppliments.com ..they have really good whey proteins and offer auto ship plus they test for purity. No taste or smell...

      2. BlondePatriotInCDA

        Fairlife has strawberry, vanilla and of course chocolate. No more calories than other protein drinks. Stay away from Premiere, they're dealing with lawsuits due to not being honest about protein content.
