PrettyGirlLosingIt got a reaction from it's time 4 me in How Hard Is It To Get Pills Down After Surgery? I'm scared!
I am really afraid I am going to have a hard time swallowing all my pills plus all the Vitamins after surgery.
I asked my doctor about it at my pre op visit Friday and he told me to just coat them in vegetable oil. Really? I hear just getting your food, water and vitamins down is hard enough and not something everyone can do. I can't come off them because they are to treat my Chiari Brain Malformation Symptoms and my Postural orthostatic tachycardia syndrome , which is also why I have gained all this weight. I spend about 15 hours a day in bed. Can anyone give me any insight on swallowing pills and vitamins after surgery? Or is anyone else out there scared of this as well? Am I just being silly?

I'm on the 15th as well and have the same diet as your doctor prescribed. Started pre-op today! I assume you did too? How did you fare so far?

PrettyGirlLosingIt got a reaction from Apple1 in May Sleevers?
My surgery is scheduled for May 15th 2017 and I am so excited! However, my doctor does not have me on an all-liquid diet. Instead, I am on a high Protein, low fat, no sugar/Carb diet 2 weeks before surgery. I was a bit concerned because I had never heard of this before. He explained the 2-week diet beforehand is only to make my liver smaller and the same can be accomplished with the 2-week diet he provided. Has anyone else ever heard of a doctor doing this?
EDIT Sorry seems like i found the answer to this after reading all posts lol. Anyone out there scheduled for the 15th?
