Thank you for answering;

!.) Do you take Vitamins? If so what kind? Can you take large pills? What about an advil? Anyone taking or needing Fiber laxaives? (aka metamucil) Seems to me if ya have to chew to consistency of baby food that pills could get stuck.

2.) What about salads and raw veggies any problem there?

Hi Everyone,

Just a word of caution with Advil. Ibuprofin makes your stomach swell and can completely close the opening (which is what happened to me a few months back). My doctor said absolutely NO ADVIL!!!!

Just thought you should know

P.S. Keep in mind that I was taking Advil without any problems even with my band. But suddenly my stomach swelled up the last time I took it. Perhaps stress or other things had to do with it, but it's not worth trying - believe me !!!!!!!!!

Donali et. al...I am a new poster, in the inquiry phase. Check out my hello in "introductions". I am so glad to have a place to vent when I need it. You are all a great group! I'm turning in early tonight. My very best friend is moving to S.Carolina tomorrow and it is going to be a hard day for both of us. At least I have a new vacation spot on the East Coast! Keep up the good work, everyone. Lois
