Pills after surgery



Recommended Posts

Can you take pills after surgery? I hope to eventually get off my blood pressure med, but likely will still need my thyroid and my warfarin. That, and Vitamins seems like it'd fill my stomach.

My doctor said that I didn't need to crush them if I could swallow them all right. I could, so never had to crush.

I take all my pills but right after surgery They gave me liquid pain meds that was easier . but my blood pressure meds had to be dropped as my blood pressure went way low with them it is nice to not have that. but I take capsules for stool softeners and such . They go down but I can definitely feel them. I just keep sipping my liquids and they seam to go down ok

You're just a new-age Mary Poppins, aren't you?

I take multiple pills a day, and I haven't had any problems!

I crushed my pills for the first 6 weeks, then I was cleared to swallow pills. I even found a bariatric Vitamin that I can swallow instead of chew.

Which Vitamin do you use?

I think it’s pretty reasonably priced too. It’s $50 for a 90 day supply. My other chewable Bariatric Vitamins were $27 per month. And it’s only 1 pill a day vs trying to remember 4.

Do you take Calcium separately? I know you can’t take Iron and calcium at the same time, so how does that work for you?

      Hi, I’m new here. I’m currently on the liver shrinking diet. So far so good, but I have to say I haven’t found a protein shake I like. Anyone have any suggestions please? My surgery date is September 17th.

        Fairlife Core are by far the best. They taste just as they are - chocolate milk. You can either get the 26 grams or the 42 grams (harder to find and more expensive). For straight protein look at Bulksuppliments.com ..they have really good whey proteins and offer auto ship plus they test for purity. No taste or smell...

      2. BlondePatriotInCDA

        Fairlife has strawberry, vanilla and of course chocolate. No more calories than other protein drinks. Stay away from Premiere, they're dealing with lawsuits due to not being honest about protein content.
