I have my sleeve surgery two weeks from tomorrow..on the 24th. I stopped taking my birth control pills about 2 weeks ago and I had unprotected sex today. I know it was so stupid! Can I take the morning after pill? Will it interfere with my upcoming surgery?? Please help! I'm going to call my surgeons office tomorrow but I'm kind of freaking out!

They gave me a pregnancy test 5 days before my surgery during pre-op testing, and then again on the day of surgery even though I was on my period. They will not operate if you have a positive test.

I'm just asking because they said to stop taking the birth control pill at least 2 weeks before. I guess it increases ur chances of blood clots. I called the office but everyone is in the OR and the lady said she would have to call back later ugh....

I was freaking out so I ended up taking the plan B but now I'm very worried that they are going to have to move my surgery back. I already asked for time off of work and everything. I'm so mad at myself

I'm pretty sure they just want u to stop taking everyday meds. I still took Tylenol and such... idk the answer but I wouldn't stress it. U wouldn't be the only one to go against the rules

The morning after pill should not affect your surgery in any way. You will be fine. Relax, you're almost there!

      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.
