Crushed up antibiotics are NASTY!



Recommended Posts

This morning I had to take my last horse pill - I mean antibiotic - for my ear infection. I just got my first fill on Tuesday afternoon, so since then, I had been crushing them and mixing them with apple sauce. I forgot to pack some apple sauce this morning so I cut it up into tiny pieces then swallowed it with Water. Gross! Then the last little pieces I swished with some water before taking it and I thought I was going to PUKE! Those are the nastiest tasting things ever! Thanks goodness I had my flavored coffee with me to wash out the taste. I'm so glad I'm done with those!

Next time I'm going to ask for a liquid antibiotic.

Since being banded I always ask for an elixer or liquid or chewable med... However, the liquid Antibiotic is just as bad... It is very thick and bitter and gets stuck inbetween your teeth and your tasting it for 30 minutes after taking it. Sometimes the pharmacy has something thats equivalent to waht was perscribed and they just issue it, but if they don't they just place a quick call to the Dr and explain I need the liquid or chewable and ask them to fax over a new prescription...

My Regular Doc does not know I have been banded However, I will advise him when I have my next physical and he questions how I have lost so much weight finally! Plus, I'm sure it really should be in my medical file....

I just don't want to tell him until I can show good results because he was dead set against it for the last 5 years as I begged him at each physical...

      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.
