Hi just wanted to see if any other doctors have required you to go off birth control pills. I have to take it for my bad endometreosis . Anyone else told to stop taking the pill?

Im not on the pill but my dr took me off everything but my blood pressure & acid reflux med, mite b sumthin n it they dont want mixed with surgery meds my surgeon gave me a whole 4 page list of medicines that we could not take within 10 days of surgery and the only thing the paper said was take blood pressure meds with a sip of Water the morning of surgery.

So I had my pre-op today. Turns out I have some gall tones so my surgeon is going to take out my gall bladder also. Curious to know if anyone else has to have that done. Also I am now on a 600 calorie diet till surgery day on the 15th! Shouldn't be bad' date=' I still get chicken which I love![/quote']

After having my son by C Section in 2000 I had to have mine removed and it was a breeze mine was done just like the RNY was done except less cuts Every one looks at me like I'm crazy Cuz I'm not nervous but this makes my 4th surgery and I'm just not nervous about things like this I'm more like "BRING IT ON" sounds crazy rite idk maybe I will get nervous when the weekend comes.:)

Oh yeah blood pressure and Water pill, usually if it is a blood thinner or things on that line u have to stop so u wont bleed easily when your on blood thinners it makes it hard to stop bleeding medicines like coumadin even aspirin is a blood thinners. I just looked at the list and birth control is on it.

22 days down and 5 more to go of my liquid diet. I didn't struggle really until last week I was so hungry just like today and I know it was all in my head I think I just wanted some food I could chew and I don't mean sugar free popsicles or mints I mean food. I'm just tied of tasting this Opti Fast And it don't make it no better when I got 2 kids to cook for and I have to make their food.

Day 2 of my liquid diet, not so bad yet. Yesterday I had a headache all day, but I just think to myself, "Hey you quit smoking without any help, you got this!"

Trying different flavors in my Protein drinks, this morning I had unjury chocolate with Hazelnut flavoring... yummmmmm.

13 days to go!!

      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.
