Why would your collar bone be sore?

I'm going to guess gas or soreness from hernia or indigestion. Going to start taking Pepcid today.

How are you doing on drinking your fluids? I'm using the small measuring cups from the hospital it takes about 3 sips from that over 15 minutes to get it down. Now I have to go get some Jello to mis in my prilosec.

I'm trying my hardest. I feel uncomfortable if I drink to fast or to much. I was nervous to take Prilosec it looked to big so im gonna do pepcid.

Glad to hear everyone is okay! I'm a bit panicked - I get sleeved 6/14. So you all are able to swallow pills? I have two meds I have to take and that's one of the things I'm apprehensive about - swallowing a pill on post-op day 2.

No swallowing pills for me, I have to take the capsules apart and the actual pill ones I'm suppose to crush and put in something else like sugar free Jello or pudding.< /p>

I can't say anything about day 2, but I've been taking small pills since day 4. I think it will really be dependent on he size of the pill. If they are RX pills many of them can be compounded into chewable or crushable by any compounding pharmacy.

      I have my final approval from my insurance, only thing holding up things is one last x-ray needed, which I have scheduled for the fourth of next month, which is my birthday.

      Hi, I’m new here. I’m currently on the liver shrinking diet. So far so good, but I have to say I haven’t found a protein shake I like. Anyone have any suggestions please? My surgery date is September 17th.

        Fairlife Core are by far the best. They taste just as they are - chocolate milk. You can either get the 26 grams or the 42 grams (harder to find and more expensive). For straight protein look at Bulksuppliments.com ..they have really good whey proteins and offer auto ship plus they test for purity. No taste or smell...

      2. BlondePatriotInCDA

        Fairlife has strawberry, vanilla and of course chocolate. No more calories than other protein drinks. Stay away from Premiere, they're dealing with lawsuits due to not being honest about protein content.
