bipolar I and WLS.

[Ginger Snaps 1,323]

I'm a month out now... I continued to swallow my pills after my surgery for 3-4 days and then I got readmitted to the hospital and my doctor told me he didn't want me swallowing any pills again from Sunday to Friday when he saw me. So, I quit cold turkey. I really struggled that week with feeling very weak and tired. It was a combination of the pneumonia, low calories and going off the meds. Once I saw him and he said I could start swallowing pills again, I did and I've felt great ever since.

So, I don't think I'll be asking the doctor to drop off any of meds for a while at least until I've dropped some more weight. Then, we might discuss it. But, it did prove to me just how important my meds are to my sanity!
