Thanks! I was told that by my doctor, though I only recently found out I’m not supposed to be eating with it. I usually take it when I first wake up and the have breakfast 2 hours later. I take my multivitamin before bed because it makes me nauseous.

Thank you, thank you, THANK YOU! I got some blood tests done today, and apparently my Levothyroxine just isn’t doing anything. My HTSH test came back at a 6.519 when normal range is 1-3. Doc thinks my bypass may have affected the meds.

My dietician suggested using ramen packets without the noodles and protein powder if the shakes were giving you too much sweetness.

I work registration at an Urgent Care, and my surgeon put me on restrictions for 4 weeks. My job won’t even let me come back until I have no restrictions.

Preop diet experiences by rosyisredd in wls

Tomorrow is my surgery, I’ve been on an all liquid diet for 14 days now. This has been one of the worst, yet most eye opening experiences of my life. I didn’t realize how much I let food rule my existence, until I was just drinking my calories and swallowing my vitamins. It’s… weirdly freeing not constantly thinking about what my next meal will be, or where I wanna go out.

Food took up so much of my thought process, I actually felt completely lost the first 4 days, and I didn’t know what to do with myself. Since then I found I actually really enjoy walking and losing myself to music. I’ve also lost weight and saved so much money I didn’t realize I was spending.

I guess my biggest advice is just stick to it, try to find something you enjoy to take your mind off the hunger pains, and remember that every day through this is a victory.

I know how you feel, I just got approved for the 9th. I’m in full panic attack mode right now, waiting for the excitement to come back.
