No More MEDS!!!



Recommended Posts

I went to my PCP yesterday to ask about all the medicines I am currently taking. He told me to quit one all together, stop taking one after the bottle was done and monitor my blood pressure so I can possibly get off that too! That was the best news EVER. I despise taking prescription medication so I am super excited. I also found out that I have lost 16lbs in a week and a half. INSANITY. I am so happy I made the decision to be banded and have gotten a second chance at LIFE! Have a great day!!!:smile:

Wow, congrats. You are having a great start. Keep up the good work. I did 17lbs the first 2 weeks but 2lbs a week since then which is normal. I had my first fill yesterday with Dr Snow.

I am so happy for you! My date is in 17 days and I am nervious but excited at the same time. If I can get off all the meds I take it will be a true blessing along with the weight loss.

THUNDER WHEELS - What is the fill process with Dr. Snow? I was originally going through AIGB but I think I would rather go to his office!

LKGRUBB- I was very nervous up until the day of surgery and then just calm because I knew I was making a good decision.

ROAD KING - Good luck! I am glad I was approved and scheduled within a week or I would have driven myself crazy thinking about it!

Wow that is fantastic news for you gingydilly. I seemed to have gained about a pound since surgery but am not too worried as I am sure it will move down again soon. Started walking again yesterday so that should see a change.

I had been walking about 3 miles a week for the last 6 weeks or so but just can't get motivated to get back to it since surgery. Hopefully I can do at least a mile this week. Today was my first day back at work so I am just taking it slow!!!

      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.
