So I’m on day 15 post op and still doing liquids. Mostly water, ice chips, popsicles, and protein shakes. I don’t have any hunger and no desire to try to swallow anything tougher than a frozen popsicle. However, I’ve discovered this weird fascination with food tasting videos on YouTube. I don’t want the food, but for some reason it satisfies a part of my brain. I’ve been in bed rest and these short vids are just the trick. Trigger Warning: totally non appropriate food for bariatric patients. 🤓 Here are some fun ones: https://youtu.be/d9A0i5gpMAQ https://youtu.be/UC5KKlj7TAo https://youtu.be/seCkuD77dnY https://youtu.be/SHCeP5ozZi4 Anyone else watch these?

Some minor complications from surgery. I’m walking much more than I was last week. I know everyone’s experience is different so I’m just following my own path.

Yes, it does go away. I take one at a time with a little water. It seemed to help if I waited a few minutes between pills. Good luck to you,

Thanks the tips.

I had my surgery on 12/23 and started taking my regular meds. The first day I crushed the big ones. Tbh they were really gross crushed, so the next day I started swallowing them whole. I took about 30 min between pills, but I still feel some cramping below my rib cage. Kind of like the pill is stuck and slowly dissolving. Anyone else have this issue?
