Peek Inside My Medicine Cabinet



Recommended Posts

Just thought I'd share, this is what I take. Also, the Vitamins plus the Calcium I bought at costco for about 23 bucks total. Awesome!!! I heart costco. The only thing you don't see is the Zegerid. That's what I take as my PPI.

Wow! That's a lot of supplements. Totally makes sense because we're all so restricted. What is the pseudoephedrine for...and the Vitamin E....if you don't mind my asking :blush5:

The Pseudoephedrine I use very sparingly. I have very bad athma and allergies and I have to take them to clear me up sometimes. It's bad for my HBP though, so I have to be careful with them. The Vitamin E was suggested by my plastic surgeon. It's the "healing" vitamin and my PS scars are almost non existant from it!! It's amazing stuff. It also helps with soft skin. :)

You take all of those suppliments everyday? I thought one of the advantages of being sleeved over a tradional bypass was that you wouldn't need as many supliments because they don't reroute the intestines.

Thank you for your expertise!

      Day 1 of pre-op liquid diet (3 weeks) and I'm having a hard time already. I feel hungry and just want to eat. I got the protein and supplements recommend by my program and having a hard time getting 1 down. My doctor / nutritionist has me on the following:
      1 protein shake (bariatric advantage chocolate) with 8 oz of fat free milk 1 snack = 1 unjury protein shake (root beer) 1 protein shake (bariatric advantage orange cream) 1 snack = 1 unjury protein bar 1 protein shake (bariatric advantace orange cream or chocolate) 1 snack = 1 unjury protein soup (chicken) 3 servings of sugar free jello and popsicles throughout the day. 64 oz of water (I have flavor packets). Hot tea and coffee with splenda has been approved as well. Does anyone recommend anything for the next 3 weeks?

        All I can tell you is that for me, it got easier after the first week. The hunger pains got less intense and I kind of got used to it and gave up torturing myself by thinking about food. But if you can, get anything tempting out of the house and avoid being around people who are eating. I sent my kids to my parents' house for two weeks so I wouldn't have to prepare meals I couldn't eat. After surgery, the hunger was totally gone.

      I have my final approval from my insurance, only thing holding up things is one last x-ray needed, which I have scheduled for the fourth of next month, which is my birthday.
