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've hit a stall 9 months out. I'm not worried, though. My fitness levels continue to improve and I have nearly accomplished my pre-surgery goal of learning to scuba dive! One dive left to complete to get my PADI card 🐠
      I was able to go for a 10K/6mile hike in the mountains two days ago just for the fun of it. In the before days, I might have attempted this, but it would have taken me 7 or 8 hours to complete and I would have been exhausted and in pain for the next two days. Taking my time with breaks for snacks and water, I was finished with my wee jaunt in only 4 hours 😎 and really got to enjoy photographing some insects, fungi, and turtles.
      Just for fun last week, I ran two 5Ks in two days, something I would have never done in the past! Next goal is a 10K before the end of this month.

      Hi everyone, I wrote back in May about having no strength. I still get totally exhausted just walking from room to room, it’s so bad I’m using a walker with wheels of all things. I had the gastric sleeve Jan. 24th. I’m doing exactly what the programs says, except protein shakes. I have different meats and protein bars daily, including vitamins daily. I do drink my fluids as well.  I go in for IV hydration 4 days a week and feel ok just til evening.  So far as of Jan 1st I’ve dropped 76 lbs. I just want to enjoy the weight lose. Any suggestions or has anyone else gone thru this??  Doctor says just increase calorie intake, still the same.

      Losing my hair in clumps and still dealing with "stomach" issues from gallbladder removal surgery. On the positive side I'm doing better about meeting protein and water goals and taking my vitamins, so yay? 🤷‍♀️
