MY LAPBAND JOURNEY - DAY 4 POST OP

· 420 views

JAN. 21, 2011 - FRIDAY - DAY 4 POST OP - FELT SO BETTER AFTER MY SHOWER AND BANDAGES TAKEN OFF. THE PAIN IS LESS AND LESS ALSO. I DID NOT EVEN TAKE THE CHILDREN'S LIQUID TYLENOL LAST NIGHT BEFORE BED. I NEVER DID TAKE ANYTHING FOR THE GAS PAINS, I JUST WALKED. I HAVE NOT BEEN FEELING TOO HUNGRY SO I GUESS THE CREAM OF WHEAT FOR BREAKFAST AND TOMATOE SOUP FOR SUPPER AND THE PROTEIN SHAKES IN BETWEEN HAVE BEEN ENOUGH. JUST A COUPLE DAYS NOW TILL MY FIRST POST OP VISIT WITH DR. MARLEY. I AM WONDERING WHEN AND IF I WILL GET AN ADJUSTMENT OR "FILL". THE ONLY THING I AM AM HAVING TROUBLE WITH RIGHT NOW IS TRYING TO GET THE SUPPLEMENTS DOWN. THEY ARE HUGE. THE MULTIVITAMIN AND CALCIUM SUPPLEMENTS. I AM SUPPOSED TO CHEW THEM BUT THEY TASTE CHALKY AND GRITTY AND I AM AFRAID THEY WILL MAKE ME GAG AND THROW UP. I DON'T WANT TO DO THAT OF COURSE. SO I HAVE BEEN BREAKING THEM INTO LITTLE PIECES AND TAKING WITH WATER BUT IT TAKES FOREVER AND THEY ARE STILL VERY HARD AND I AM AFRAID OF THEM GETTING STUCK ON THE WAY DOWN. ANY SUGGESTIONS OUT THERE? MY BLOOD SUGAR READING ARE STAYING WITHIN PRETTY GOOD LIMITS STILL WITHOUT THE MEDICINE. SO FAR SO GOOD. I KEEP WONDERING IF I LOST ANY MORE WT.? I GUESS I WILL HAVE TO WAIT A COUPLE MORE DAYS TO FIND OUT AT THE DR.'S.

    I purchased the chewable vitamins, I got CVS brand and they are not very good I think I will try the flintstone brand next go round and see if they taste any better. Probably a good thing not to weigh until at the dr's. I was banded 11 days ago and weighted everyday. I lost 11 lbs and my band was to tight so I had a hard time getting anything down so the dr loosed. Unfortuanetly I have gained back 4 of those pounds. You definelty dont want to get anything stuck because it is a misearble feeling for about 5 minutes.

    Hi there! Thank you for the advise. Yah I am scared about getting things stuck. I will just have to chew these huge vit. supplements up I guess. YUK. I will have to get used to it. Do you know if it is ok to take the calcium and multi vit. supplements together by any chance?
