How long after surgery u can take a pill ?



Recommended Posts

I guess it depends what kind of pills. I have been taking my blood pressure pills since day 2 after surgery. They say to wait for a month to start birth control pills. I have been taking an acid reducer also since surgery (pill form). Check with your doctor to make sure it's safe, but I don't think the pill can do damage to the sleeve or they would have warned me about this.

My stomach didn't like pills of any kind for the first 3 months, so I did liquid, Gummy, or crunched up tablets. I was a bit more sensitive than the norm in most ways until I was fully recovered at the 6 month mark. Now I can take my supplements in pill or capsule form, no problem. Although, when taking a handful of my herbal supplements, even 3 years later, I have to do it over the course of 30 minutes to an hour, just because of the large amount of Water it takes to get 10-20 caps down.

I was told the only pills that I could take were the time-release pills which shouldn't be crushed...as for my Vitamins, my surgeon wants me to stay with the chewable ones for life. All the other pills I currently take are so small anyway that they probably wouldn't do much damage.

I'm not too sure about how long out b4 you can take diet pills....I'm 1 year and 6 months out.....AND I FEEL GREAT!! I do at times feel like the weight was coming off very slow, but it was ok. I went thru a down fall about March of last year to about the end of 2013 with family issues, do quitr naturally I wanted to comfort eat. But long story short, things are much better and I am also mow a part of a health and wellness business where we have products, with ALL natural ingredients, to help you loose inches, weight, multivitamins(that we definitely need), hair skin and nails, a Ultimate Body Applicator to help tighten tone and firm the body parts you wrap and much much more. Why dont you visit my website @www.wrappednfavor.myitworks.com and then email me at wrappednfavor@gmail.com and let me know what you think. Share this info with all those you know that may be in this situation. Take care!

I took norco at the Hospitol in pill form. My doctor just said any pills you swallow mush be the size of a tic tax. So he gave me a pill cutter.

I wouldn't take diet pills. I had a friend who had the bypass six years ago didn't take her Vitamins, didn't follow doctors orders and today she weighs about 60-70 pounds. She can't work and has hernias from the diet pills and laxatives she took in order to lose more rapidly. Just talk to your doctor or nutritionist and get on a healthy plan. The sleeve is a tool and it takes time and dedication.

      I have no clue where to upload this, so I'll put it here. This is pre-op vs the morning of my 6 month appointment! In office I weight 232, that's 88 lbs down since my highest weight, 75 lbs since my surgery weight! I can't believe this jacket fit... I am smaller now than the last time I was this size which the surgeon found really amusing. He's happy with where I am in my weight loss and estimates I'll be around 200 lbs by my 1 year anniversary! My lowest weight as an adult is 195, so that's pretty damn exciting to think I'll be near that at a year. Everything from there will be unknown territory!!

      I changed my profile image to a molecule of protein. Why? Because I am certain that it saved my life.

        That's brilliant! You've done amazing!! I should probably think about changing my profile picture at some point. Mine is the doll from Squid Games. Ironically the whole premise of the show is about dodging death. We've both done that...

      Two years out. Lost 120 , regained 5 lbs. Recently has a bout of Norovirus, lost 7 pounds in two days. Now my stomach feels like it did right after my surgery. Sore, sensitive to even water.  Anyone out there have a similar experience?
