kristine0h reacted to clk in Swallowing pills
I took pills, no problem. I take a variety of daily meds of all sizes. But there's fast dissolve melatonin on Amazon if it's a huge pill and freaks you out. Prozac is fine, I know from experience.
Miralax for Constipation, works like a charm.

kristine0h reacted to MissMellyMell in What are you saying?
Gosh after reading this, I'm kind of saddened that there is such a stigma about weight loss surgery. It's just like any other surgery, it is to benefit a person's health and quality of life. Family and friends aside, no one should even bring up weight in conversation. It's your body, your business. I'm sure people will notice the change in my appearance, I'm not afraid to say I had WLS. It's going to probably be the best thing that will ever happen in my life. I'm so ready to endure the changes and let people see what a positive impact weight loss surgery can have on a person's life. Embrace this and Celebrate it girl, don't be shy, embrassed or worried. Enjoy the ride! Let people know how great the procedure is! We need to end the stigma!!!

Ack, "fishing"!
Wonder why my surgeon was so liberal about me taking my meds without crushing? Fortunately I didn't have to have a fishing expedition! -
kristine0h reacted to moobiegirl in July 6th surgery
My date is July 6th too. I bought some soft chews on Amazon yesterday (bariatric fusion). I hate the taste of chewable flintstones. Hopefully I'll be ok with the soft chews. I did not buy the others yet since i have 2 weeks before I can start other Vitamins. I'm waiting to see what my tastebuds like after surgery.

kristine0h reacted to The in July 6th surgery
From the discussions I had with my nutritionist you just need some decent, run of the mill A to Z chewable one a day Vitamins (which I'll take two a day).
I would be very sceptical about some of these 'bariatric' products. There's nothing special about them, from looking at ingredients they are often everyday items rebadged. They charge more because they know we're worried and need reassurance... so they can get away with it.
I got a great deal on Centrum on Amazon here (in the U.K.) but my nutritionist also recommended some supermarket own label.

I'm having my surgery the same day as you good luck! I found the flintstones chewable Multivitamins, the B12, and the calcium citrate at Walmart for pretty cheap. I'm sure others are more informed than me though
