Help ! Cannot get the meds or vitamins in.. 4 days post op



Recommended Posts

I had surgery on Monday and I have meds you to take that my doc prescribed and my pre op meds as well. This morning I took out the meds from my nexium and med for preventing gall stones from the capsule. Put in a little Water..added sugar free limeade. It was so horrible to taste .but I did swallow these meds.. Then a few hours I smashed my meds that I have bebe taking for a long time. Lexapro , Wellbutrin and a lose dose blood pressure pill. I put in a little bit of Water but hardly ingested cause not too long after I took the nexium., etc.. My body rebelled and through it up. My chest was hurting with gas also. I started feeling very nausea and then I threw up .

How can I take my meds without spewing it. up. I am afraid if I don't keep my antidepressants, down..I will be adversely affected and my mood will change for the worse. Please let me know what u did to take meds in a way that is tolerable. Thanks.. Your suggestions are much appreciated.

To be honest, I didn't try to take my meds for the 1st few days post-op. I was barely able to sip Water and take a bite of a Popsicle. So I focused on staying hydrated. After about day 7, I was able to swallow my meds. You might contact your doctor and find out if there are liquid versions of your meds he can substitute.

      Just been waiting until time for my consult with my bariatric surgeon. It's scheduled for Jan 9th. Turns out I won't actually be seeing him. Apparently it'll be with his P.A.             Not sure what to expect. I thought this is where the surgeon would discuss the best surgery option for me. For years I had my heart set on the sleeve, but I've read so many people have issues with reflux - even if they've never had it before - that they've had to be revised to the bypass. I already deal with GERD & take 40 mg of Omeprazole daily, so I started studying about bypass and honestly, it seems like it might be the better choice for me. How can we discuss surgery options if the surgeon is not there?
      What happened at your first consult? Trying to get an idea of what to expect, or maybe I should say, what NOT to expect.

      I would like to know what questions you wish you had asked prior to your duodenal switch surgery?
