I'm on Forfivoh, which is a fairly large XR pill and I take it whole just fine. I started taking it whole on Day 2 and just explained to my surgeon that I couldn't crush it because it was XR. He understood. My suggestion would be to talk to your doctor and see what he suggests.

I went to my 1 week follow-up today. I've lost 10.6 lbs. I'm on full liquids for another week then on to blended liquids for 2 weeks. Doc is happy with my progress.

I hate the Protein Drinks and the Calcium chewable tablets-taste like chalk
I am dying for proper food but dunno when I can start eating anything other than a full liquid diet
I visit my surgeon on thursday.
Trying to drink 64oz of Water is almost impossible

I take 2 generic children's Vitamins. They're the only ones I could find that included thiamin and Iron (which my nurse said was important I have in my vitamin).

I'm in middle TN, too! Just had surgery on the 4th!

4 days post-op and I'm doing pretty good. No nausea and the only real pain is the large incision and the muscle underneath. The other incisions have started itching. It still hurts to get up from sitting or lying down so I'm still taking my pain meds. I'll probably stop in another day or so. Having trouble getting in all my fluids but I'm getting as close to goal as I can. It doesn't hurt to drink, I just don't feel thirsty. Burping, hiccups and coughing is painful. I'm on full liquids so I'm quite enjoying my cream Soups.< /p>

Well, I've had 2 meals on Clear Liquids and they think I'm doing so well that I get to go on full liquids for dinner! Also, probably going home tonight. Other than being super sore, I feel great and am surprised at how well my recovery is going.

I'm about 18 hours out. Things aren't too bad. I don't have any drains in and I've been up and walking just fine. I'm most sore when I try to get up. I've had quite a few bouts of nausea but they've been quick with the zofran when I need it. I also have an anti-nausea patch on so that's helped, too. All in all I feel pretty good, considering.

Congrats to you all , please remember don't drink you don't want anything in your system good luck you got this.

Much the same with me. Surgery is scheduled for 8:30 tomorrow and I'm about to start packing. I'm not really nervous. I have no second thoughts or anything but I am sad about being away from my girls (4y and 16m). They're staying with their father for the next week and 1/2 since I won't be able to lift the baby at all. I may try to Skype with them Thurs or Fri.
