How do you take your vitamins after surgery



Recommended Posts

Help everyone I way wondering how do you take these huge Vitamins after surgery when you can barely swallow Water and any amount of food? Just very curious because surgery date is getting closer!

I am almost 11 months out and used chewables up until recently. May sure they are not gummies, as those supposedly are not absorbed now.

chewables for sure! I'm a year and a half out and still prefer chewables! It takes the edge off in the morning when I am starting to feel hungry. Takes the hunger away! lol

Go to the drug store and buy a pill crusher and a pill splitter. You inability to swallow should only last a couple months after surgery and then you should be back to normal.

I was having trouble with B-Complex for awhile (i.e., nausea), but they discovered I had a stricture and I haven't had any problems since they "fixed" the stricture - so obviously it was related to that. Some people do have problems with the "B"s in particular, though. I always take that one with food just in case.

      Three months and four days ago... I was in Costa Rica having a life changing surgery! Yesterday we had a followup visit with Dr. Esmeral via video chat and this morning my middle number changed.  I'm down 47lbs and two pants sizes. I can wear a Large tshirt for the first time in like... 14 years! Woot!! Everything is going great. I have zero regrets. I went down to the riverwalk with a friend and walked 2 miles on Monday without even getting fatigued. And no more snoring or chugging pickle juice for crazy leg cramps! I need to go to the gym more... I'm making new shirts next week so that will motivate me. LOL But I'm also just not as TIRED all the time! I have a LONG way to go...but seeing the progress on the scales and in the mirror is a huge motivator!! Thank you all for cheering me on and supporting me!!

      Two months out from hiatal hernia repair.  Surgeon said to expect a lot more flatulence...something about the 'air' no longer being able to 'burp' out so comes out the other end.  That is my experience but have no understanding of why that swallowed air cannot be 'burped'. ???

        As I understand it since your stomach is smaller and not completely resting against your diaphragm anymore you no longer have the ability to "push" burps out as well. Plus, since its smaller and we don't digest slower the trapped air moves a lot quicker out of the stomach so its no longer available to burp out. Hence the other option for removal.

      Anyone had the TORe procedure? How did it go? How much weight did you loose?
