    danielleleigh90 got a reaction from JustMe1313 in Pre-op Diet - Happened So Fast!   
    Hi! Who is Chicago is doing your surgery? That's where I had mine done :). The sameeee thing happened to me, originally I was scheduled 7/20..well on July 9th they called and asked if I wanted to take a 7/13 opening they had...took it! lol. But yes, I felt as if I had no time to prepare either. Did they give a specific reason on why you can't season things? For me, I seasoned broth because I couldn't stomach it. I'm now 28 days out and feeling good. I'm officially down 20, which makes me even happier! Things do get easier, but there will be moments that you say "wtf did i do" lol, for me that was primarily right after surgery (I hated those gas pains). All will be well though!!

    Hey ya’ll!
    So I haven’t gotten a date yet, but I do believe I’ll have one soon for July! I started w/ a new doctor this month (I’ve been through all steps necessary, with another doctor so my current surgeon isn’t requiring me to do anything else.). Luckily for me, my insurance doesn’t have any requirements for diet visits. Anyway, hoping to hear something soon. I speak to the doctors Monday & they mentioned after this appointment I will be submitted to insurance. Hoping it all works out! My 30th bday is in September & I’m ready to feel good!

    danielleleigh90 reacted to Officially Not Fatty Matty in Wellbutrin   
    My antibiotic pills they gave me were huge like an inch long purple monsters and they had me taking the first one in the hospital the day after my surgery. I was surprised but it didn’t cause any issues. Also the acid pills and my regular meds. The only requirement was to do one at a time at first. In fact when I got home I tried breaking that huge one in half and it made it much worse, the coating on it helps it slide down and broken in half it felt like it was stuck at the top of my stomach.

    I was on Wellbutrin XL prior to surgery and no change after surgery. I was not required to crush any of my pills after surgery. I had VSG. This may be different if Bypass done.

    no -- it's a surgeon thing. I never crushed pills, either.

    danielleleigh90 reacted to olivian19xx in Wellbutrin   
    I was put on wellbutrin prior to surgery, and let me say it was a GOD SEND. That's why I clicked on this forum. However, that's not what this is about lol.
    BUT, with my smaller tablet pills, I cut them into 6 or 8 pieces, so it would be like swallowing tiny pills with my Water, rather than eating them. I'm sure this is frowned upon, and not great, but it was the only way I could get my blood pressure medicine in.
    I have not been able to "eat" any of my medicines, and (I sound like a child here oops) I refuse to take liquid medicine so sitting through the pain was my only option.

    we were allowed to swallow any pills that were smaller than a pencil eraser. So maybe cut them, like the above poster suggested?
  14. Thanks

    I am on Bupropion , but unfortunately my mail order subscription didn't arrive before my surgery(maybe covid19 delay or just lost in mail). I've went without a few days before surgery & now it's 6 days after surgery. I plan to call my prescribing dr asap tomorrow & ask what she wants me to do & if my dose will need lowered & how to take since vsg.
    By the way olivian19xx I am from Southern Indiana, not far from O'boro. Almost went with Dr Ravi Alapati, but instead used my VA care. Heard good results from Dr Alapati's surgeries.

  15. Thanks

    Bupropion has a half-life of up to 30 hours.. with that in mind you can probably go a day or two without a full dose until you are able to get them down again. I was able to do full pills 3 days post op... I couldn't do crushed pills at anytime, tasted bloody horrible. As noted above, should be fine with cutting them up into smaller pieces first.
  16. Thanks

    I was allowed to swallow pills while in the hospital the day after surgery. It was especially important for the Wellbutrin because anytime I stopped taking it abruptly it gave me heart palpitations and sent me into hypertensive crisis. Maybe try cutting it in half. If you can take it that way you won’t have to cut it again since it’s so small.

    Although I will say I wasn’t allowed/able to swallow huge pills like my Multivitamin or Calcium until the week after surgery.

    Hey guys, I’m 2 days post op now & feeling pretty decent. Day 1 was probably the worst for me! Oddly they prescribed me children’s Tylenol for recovery (ONLY). So I had to ask for a prescription & now things are rolling more smoothly w/ the Tramadol prescribed

    My surgery is tomorrow guys! 😬😬😬 I won’t lie I’m nervous (especially knowing family won’t be there). The last few days have been filled with nerves and wondering if I’m doing what’s best for me. But! I know this is the best possible decision & I know that I’m going to be so much happier!
