gem_2701 7 Posted September 9, 2013 Oh so that's what restriction is! O_O So for the first 2 weeks I didn't have a problem with anything. Could take my Vitamins, drink Water, Protein Shakes (the ones that didn't taste nasty to me), soft foods, etc. Nothing made me sick or feel bad. Until now. . First a little egg got stuck and I had to throw up. Then, taking this Calcium pill that's the size of my head had me bent over the trash can in my kitchen. I'm going to get chewable calcium first thing in the morning! Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

I take a chewable Multivitamin (Walmart brand), Caltrate Plus chewable, CVS brand chewable C and B12, a liquid D3, and a Vitamelt that has Biotin and C for my hair and nails. I take everything twice a day, 12 hours apart. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

I don't always have the side pain but some days (like yesterday) it was in pain all day long. On days like that I just place a pillow under my left/or right side and I'm able to sleep with no problem. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Without the pillow several incisions pull and hurt. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
