Swallowing pills?



Recommended Posts

How often after being sleeved did people start swallowing whole pills and how many at a time? Before surgery I could swallow 4 or 5 small-medium sized pills with no issues.

Im 6.5 weeks out. They had me swallow my capsules the first thing I swallowed the same day if surgery. I did 3 capsules that day- 1 every 15 min. Now I wait less than a min between my pills and do fine. I haven't ever crushed one- have taken 1 Tylenol once since surgery.

I'm on Omeprazole and that's a pull they started me on after surgery I'll be oon for 3 months. I've taken Tylenol for headache as well but I use the ones that have the little beads inside the pill capsule. They seem to work fine.

      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! 😞
