prevent nausea liquid? Promethazine 25 mg



Recommended Posts

Ok.......I just went and picked up my drugs for after surgery on Wednesday and I thought everything would be liquid and the pain med is but the nausea is pill form and the drug store said the Promethazine doesn't "really" come in liquid. I made them look again at the script and he said the doctor wrote it for tablets.

Anyone have this is liquid????????? I can't belive the doctor would write it for tablets if it comes in liquid.

Yes I have in liquid. I have Promethazine Syrup plain which is substituted for phenergran syrup plain. I am suppose to take 1/2 teaspoon up to 3 times a day for nausea. I hope this helps.

I have never had problems with pills post lapband, and I have excellent restriction now. I take a daily pill and just make sure to drink a cup of Water after. I do take chewable Vitamins because Vitamins can be incredibly huge.

You may find that you don't have a problem with reasonably sized pills as long as they are not a "prohibited for banders" medication.

Hi:

My doctor said anything the size of an M&M or smaller should go down easily. Good luck because I know how nausea can be after surgery - yucky and painful.

I was told the size of a pencil eraser. I was also given a pill cutter, and cut everything in half, and sometimes in thirds-I'm very careful. I also took pills the day after surgery in the hospital. I also took tylenol in pills-cut in half. I never had nausea and was not issued anything for the before surgery, so maybe you don't need to worry about that.

I, also, take a chewable Vitamin.< /p>

      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.
