I take Centrum liquid

Where do you get the liquid? Does it taste as bad as the chewable?

I purchase mine from Walmart. The taste in my option is better and chewables.< /p>

I'm per-op and my friend just had her surgery 8/29. Her pain was badddddd. Even in the hospital! My dr said I'd be on a morphine drip but her dr gave a shot every three hours which obviously wasn't good enough to deal with her pain. What pain med were you all on in the hospital? And what were you sent home with?

Dilauded. Worked well for me but everybody is different.

I was on morphine pump in hospital & came home with liquid percoset. I was blessed & really didn't have much pain.

They had me on morphine at first then the first night switched me to a liquid pain med. I think it started with an L. I was blessed the only real pain I had was gas the first day then just the pulling pain (which wasn't bad).

Anyone else sleeved July 3?? I feel like m losing really slowly

HW 299

Surgery day weight 289

CW 250-252

39 lbs! 49 including Pre-op! That is awesome! I was 7/17 and down 30 since surgery and 35 w/ Pre-op. I do feel it is a little slow...but I could have never done this without the sleeve. We just need to stay focused and keep on working at it!

I couldn't get liquid to stay down

I couldn't get liquid to stay down

It's so interesting how we all tolerate things differently.

I was sleeved July 1 and am able to take down solids, although, one of my challenges, as prior to surgery is eating too fast. Instead of waiting a few minutes between bites, I may eat three fully chewed bites and then immediately have extreme pressure type discomfort in my stomach. often, it leads to involuntary vomiting. The shakes, puddings, soft foods do not pose problems. I am quite discouraged. If one could live on shakes, no problem. I also have hunger pains, despite Prilosec and Tums. Although hungry, I am starting to hate the thought of eating anything.

Switch to liquid vitamins' date=' I know I did the chewables were the pits made me sick. Been fine ever since.[/quote']

You are so right. The Vitamins were making me feel horrible and I had no clue. Now that i have been off them for a couple of days I feel like a new person. I wonder how many people are feeling so horrible and the Vitamins are the cause.

SharonAdams:

I am in exactly the same boat! I eat too fasto and have thrown up 3 times. But it was better than feeling like I was having a heart attack! I have hunger pangs too, but try to fill up on Protein shakes. The thought of eating food makes me queasy...

My dr prescribed liquid Lortab, but I was very fortunate and had no pain, so I still have a full bottle!
