I started talking my regular meds and pain tabs day 4 post op with no problems.
I did use chewable multivitamiins for the first couple of months, before going onto regular ones.
I am over 2 years out, thought I would get used to the cold by now, but no!!
My suggestion, get a good woollen coat, and buy some singlets (never owned any until I was sleeved).
Nothing for me to wear a cardigan in the middle of summer if its the slightest bit cool!!
My dietician set my goal at 75 kgs (165 lbs), thats where I left it and never in my wildest dreams did I ever think I would get there or below.
I am now 66 kgs (145 lbs), well under my goal weight. This is too low for me, but have just had plastic surgery and am in recovery. I need to regain a few kgs.
I am happy around the 70 kgs (154 lbs) mark, feel great and thats where would like to stay.
I have been drinking plain old Water since day 1 post op, with no probs what so ever. Nothing tastes any different to me.
As for viiamins, I only did chewables for the first 3 months, now just take an ordinary multivit tablet every day.
