Does anyone have trouble with them? I've not yet had a fill (and am doing great without it), but want to start taking prenatal Vitamins (for extra nutrients), but am afraid they will get stuck. :wink2:

Best thing is to crush them....just in case. I hear if it has the soft casing then there is no need to. Make sure you drink plenty of fluids to wash them through.

well i am so glad u posted this thread... I have a few pill that can't be crushed and i feel like my chest is going to burst open every time i take them. I literally have to take 3 2x a day and i have to take them like 10-min apart.. i was just thinking about how i could get around it.. and there is no way.. i have 6.5 cc's in my band and i have more of a restriction in the morning and it seems like as the day goes on it loosens up but damn does it hurt...

Girl I know what you mean about that band being tight in the morning. I just had my first fill last thursday, and that sucka is so tight in the morning. It loosens up during the day. I will get another fill in a week because as the day progress I loose restriction. But boy oh boy is that sucka tight right now. It has take me almost 30 mins to eat to bites of soft scrambled eggs:hurt:. Who knew eating an egg could be so painful:sad:

      Two months out from hiatal hernia repair.  Surgeon said to expect a lot more flatulence...something about the 'air' no longer being able to 'burp' out so comes out the other end.  That is my experience but have no understanding of why that swallowed air cannot be 'burped'. ???

        Me too girl!! Are you in the full liquid diet right now? It’s sooooo hard!

      2. LadyVeteran1

        Not yet. I was told I only have to do 24 hours of a liquid diet. But I have my pre-op tomorrow so I’m going to confirm if I need to do longer.

        Your so close now! It's gonna be great :) Wishing you a speedy recovery and looking forward to seeing how it goes!

      Down 33 lbs and slightly stalled, but I'm gonna reevaluate and push through. I started back to work last week after 2 years of being disabled due to mental health as well as my weight. It's a great job and I'm just so happy to have this opportunity at a second chance at life. Hope everyone is having their best journey ❤️ Together, we got this!
