1 week post op and having a hard time getting anything down

:help:Hi. I had my band installed on june 4 the and have been super careful with my diet (liquids liquids liquids) but this morning I tried to take a small capsule and ended up trowing it up and have not been able to get much of anything down since then. I didn't get violently ill this morning, just "PB'd" the capsule and some slime so I don't think I "pulled" anything. I have had tremendoud pain even drinking water. I managed about a half cup of chick broth, but it took me 2 hours. I feel okay now, but know I need more liquid to avoid dehydration. Any suggestions would be really appreciated.:help:

Stay on liquids! Don't try to take any more meds if you don't have to. If you are still having problems tomorrow, I would call the doctor. Good Luck and let us know how you are doing tomorrow.

I had the exact same problem. You are probably just a little swollen. I was told to either empty the capsule or take it with very warm liquid (it dissolves quicker). Check with your pharmacist to see if you can empty the capsule. Just go really easy today, stick with warm liquids. If it doesn't get better call doctor in the am.
