Recommended Posts

Today Im doing bad..Im going down to Mexico tomorrow.I cant live with this. I do not beleive it is from my filled being too tight. It feels like something is broken. It is not reflux or heartburn.The prevacid has not worked I have taken it twice. I have been doing the Maloxx and yesterday it worked great but today nothing. I'm in pain and uncomfortable. I will let you all know what happens. I'm miserable and a little scared. Keep your fingers crossed

Oh Michelle :) I'm so sorry to hear this.

I am, however, very glad that you have probably one of the best band docs and he is available to you so readily. You're very lucky in that sense. Please do keep us posted. I'm definitely going to be praying it is only something very minor. You've done so well. I sure hope nothing slows that down. :D Good luck to you.

Hi Michelle,

I too will be thinking about you. I really hope it is something that can be tended to on the spot. Please be sure to keep us posted.

Hi Leatha,

I did get a copy of the message you sent about my pills in my e-mail, but it did not show up on the boards??? At any rate, I only take 4 pills that are medication (and they are pretty small), and I bought chewable daily Vitamins, Vitamin C, and Calcium. I too now take them one at a time even though they are small. Does anyone have a suggestion about how to take Tylenol? Thanks for your concern Leatha (an unusual name like mine!!)

Sultana, you can dissolve most pills in a tablespoon of Water for ease in swallowing. You can use liquid Tylenol or the caplets that can easily be broken in half before taking (and dissolved if needed.) If you are taking any time released prescriptions, those can be changed to regular pills. Please be careful with pills. They can get stuck, set there, and cause problems. Hope you're feeling better!

Hmm. I see the post up there, but sometimes this board does weird things. lol.

Tylenol - I've taken with Water alone, however, you don't want to let it sit in your pouch. Drink enough water to wash it through thoroughly. You might even consider keeping liquid Tylenol on hand as it's much easier to wash through.

      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.
