Liquids and Meds - Oh My!

[Iniysa 157]

I had my Sleeve done June 10th. I am a bit sore but that seems to be it! I don't seem to have a problem with warm and hot liquids going down. As a matter of fact the first bowl of vegetable broth the hospital gave me, I drank almost the entire thing with troubles. That scared me. Cold liquids on the other hand, likes to sit in my throat for awhile before going down.

Then there is my meds. I have one that has to be taken every 8 hrs with nothing to eat for an hour before and two hours after. My pain med which has to be taken every four hours, but not within an hour of taking the first med. Then a pill, that can't be taken within an hour of the first two meds, but has to be taken before going to bed for the night. Let's just say that meds are a confusing mess.

My meds schedules were almost identical - I put reminders on my phone for all of them or I wouldn't have remembered what to take.

It's rough in the beginning but it will get better.

I feel exactly the same way. I have to keep my med schedule straight. Along with not drinking Water for 15 minutes before I drink a Protein Shake, and then waiting 30 more minutes. I am not sure how to fit it all in. I just keep plugging away at it the best that I can.
