Binglebug1977 6 Posted January 17, 2020 Hello all. I was sleeved on 12/17 and, for the first time, I think I over-filled my sleeve. Not with food but with medication. I take several pills in the middle of the day. I took them one at a time but I think too close together. I'm in such pain. It's like waves of pain through my chest and radiating to the back. Any way to ease the pain??Sent from my SM-G955U using BariatricPal mobile app 1 Krimsonbutterflies reacted to this Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Sosewsue61 3,185 Posted January 17, 2020 Take spoon or two of yogurt, and walk around. It can linger, but will subside after some time. When you do it with food - it will have to come back up, and sometimes you have to lie down for an hour. You learn not to do this.... take a couple times, but eating really slowly and really well chewed small bites is the key to figuring it out. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Losingit2018 1,170 Posted January 17, 2020 (edited) Get some papaya enzymes ASAP and never be without them. They help to digest food and have been a major help in my journey. they also help you to absorb meds/ Vitamins better.

GradyCat 3,695 Posted January 17, 2020 I don't know what to do other than ride it out this time and make sure you're spacing our your medication and taking it with food next time. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
AngelDelNorte75 0 Posted September 30, 2020 Wow. Just reading posts like these help me recognize I never had the promised restriction. I was able to swallow a fistful of pills without any issues weeks post op. I was sleeved 6/2015. I lost 60 lbs in 3 months only because I restricted myself to 800 calories per day. I was hungry but motivated. When my personal life hit a MAJOR bump it all fell apart. Now I’m back up just 15 lbs below my starting weight and worried I’m diabetic (awaiting test results). I’m starting to think a revision to RNY might be a good idea but with a different surgeon! Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Sandra Nuelken 419 Posted September 30, 2020 When I had the sleeve if you overate Protein, pineapple juice helped. But with medicines, I guess something that coats the stomach is better. If any of those meds include thyroid make sure you don't take Vitamins within 4 hours of the thyroid. The Biotin in the vitamins really affects the thyroid.
