I am three years out and have yet to swallow a capsule since being sleeved. Do any of my fellow sleevers take capsules? I was told by my doc that this was forbidden, however, I've read other literature and heard from other sleevers that they do take capsules quite successfully. I was recently prescribed meds that only come in capsule form and I'm suppose to start them tomorrow. I'm so afraid of the capsule getting stuck. Has anyone had this happen? Please advise this nervous nelly! Thanks!

I'm 15 months out now and I've been taking capsules since I was about 10 weeks out. So far, no problems.

I tried to take one this morning and it got stuck in my throat for a bit. I'm fine now after taking some honey and Peanut Butter, but I'm thinking I won't want that stress on a daily basis.... I may just have to be creative.

I have been taking Nexium in capsule form since right after surgery. I have also had antibiotics since surgery and have not had a problem taking either of them.

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

      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?

      April Surgery
      Am I the only struggling to get weight down. I started with weight of 297 and now im 280 but seem to not lose more weight. My nutrtionist told me not to worry about the pounds because I might still be losing inches. However, I do not really see much of a difference is this happen to any of you, if so any tips?
      Thanks

      Well recovering from gallbladder removal was a lot like recovering from the modified duodenal switch surgery, twice in 4 months yay 🥳😭. I'm having to battle cravings for everything i shouldn't have, on top of trying to figure out what happens after i eat something. Sigh, let me fast forward a couple of months when everyday isn't a constant battle and i can function like a normal person again! 😞
