Some minor complications from surgery. I’m walking much more than I was last week. I know everyone’s experience is different so I’m just following my own path.

So I’m on day 15 post op and still doing liquids. Mostly water, ice chips, popsicles, and protein shakes. I don’t have any hunger and no desire to try to swallow anything tougher than a frozen popsicle. However, I’ve discovered this weird fascination with food tasting videos on YouTube. I don’t want the food, but for some reason it satisfies a part of my brain. I’ve been in bed rest and these short vids are just the trick. Trigger Warning: totally non appropriate food for bariatric patients. 🤓 Here are some fun ones: https://youtu.be/d9A0i5gpMAQ https://youtu.be/UC5KKlj7TAo https://youtu.be/seCkuD77dnY https://youtu.be/SHCeP5ozZi4 Anyone else watch these?

Yes, it does go away. I take one at a time with a little water. It seemed to help if I waited a few minutes between pills. Good luck to you,

Thanks the tips.

I had my surgery on 12/23 and started taking my regular meds. The first day I crushed the big ones. Tbh they were really gross crushed, so the next day I started swallowing them whole. I took about 30 min between pills, but I still feel some cramping below my rib cage. Kind of like the pill is stuck and slowly dissolving. Anyone else have this issue?
