Ugh liquid meds



Recommended Posts

So far I have taken liquid zofran ( never again). I tasted nasty, burned as it went down and made me so crampy and nauseous that I had to lay down. That is the worst I have felt yet. The liquid colace isn't as bad, but is still nasty. Not fun. I know it is not for long and I can do this, I needed to tell those that understand.

Hold your nose when you drink it. I had liquid pain meds that tasted like donkey azz, but it was better than hurting. Just keep thinking "this, too shall pass."

The liquid pain Meds aren't too bad, thank goodness. Just the others.

I had surgery last Tuesday (gastric bypass) and the liquid colace, Zantac and roxicet taste so bad I want to puke! I've watered them down and everything...but am at my wits end! I have to take the colace and Zantac twice a day and the pain med every 4 hours when needed....but I swear I'm thinking of never taking them again.,..but of course I do because I have to. Any tips?

Yeah the cola evils pretty bad. I have started using benefiber. No taste and you mix it in whatever you are drinking and can't even tell. Also can you put them in something to mask the flavor.

I meant to say the colace tastes pretty bad. Stupid spell check.

      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.
