Liquid Vitamins And Metformin



Recommended Posts

I bought the liquid vitamins at the Vitamin Store and had my Metformin squished to liquid at the pharmacy. Does any know that if I add these to a Protein Shake will it loose its potency? They both taste pretty yucky taken plane.

You would not believe the pills I have to take every morning, including 4 large liquid hell caps.

My band is tight, 7.5 cc.

And I have never had to crush or liquefy any of my meds. I just take one at a time, with my morning shake, slow and easy. And of course, never with food or near eating solid foods. I would not want a pill to sit in my pouch causing irritation to the banded area. I rather have it go straight into my stomach.

I did get a pill crusher early on because I was told I needed to, but only used it a few times.

May not be true for everyone, just sayin.

I have found there are a lot of things they teach you to do when banded, but have found that many of them may or not apply once you get in a groove.

Thanks B52....that is good to know. I would rather swallow a small pill then take a mouthful of it squished up...so nasty.

Metformin are huge pills! Did you go to a compounding pharmacy or were you able to get a liquid? That is the only one of my pills I worry about. The rest that I take are tiny. Didn't even think to ask on that, thanks for mentioning. Hopefully, I can kick Metformin all together!

      Two months out from hiatal hernia repair.  Surgeon said to expect a lot more flatulence...something about the 'air' no longer being able to 'burp' out so comes out the other end.  That is my experience but have no understanding of why that swallowed air cannot be 'burped'. ???

        As I understand it since your stomach is smaller and not completely resting against your diaphragm anymore you no longer have the ability to "push" burps out as well. Plus, since its smaller and we don't digest slower the trapped air moves a lot quicker out of the stomach so its no longer available to burp out. Hence the other option for removal.

        Me too girl!! Are you in the full liquid diet right now? It’s sooooo hard!

      2. LadyVeteran1

        Not yet. I was told I only have to do 24 hours of a liquid diet. But I have my pre-op tomorrow so I’m going to confirm if I need to do longer.

      Down 33 lbs and slightly stalled, but I'm gonna reevaluate and push through. I started back to work last week after 2 years of being disabled due to mental health as well as my weight. It's a great job and I'm just so happy to have this opportunity at a second chance at life. Hope everyone is having their best journey ❤️ Together, we got this!
