So tomorrow I’ll be four weeks post op, or we’ll one month. And the pains on my left side have gotten sorta worse so I contacted my dr who decided I should take muscle relaxers. Well they called as they were closing and just said to start taking them tonight. I forgot to ask if I should crush them or just take them whole. The pharmacist wasn’t help either nor was the on call nurse who “can’t answer questions unless it’s an emergancy”. I have an apt tomorrow and I will be asking them them about the rest of my meds like my blood pressure, anxiety, and Vitamins. Do you think I can take it whole? My body just doesn’t handle crushed pills well, it results in puking it all up within five minutes haven’t even been able to take my vitamins(so I was told to just take it easy and try to drink stuff that has it in it already)or my anxiety meds.

Thank you so much!! I appreciate the help there fairly small so I think I’ll only be able to do half.

I’m 4 weeks post op today. Over the weekend I had a Migraine and had to take a Tylenol that couldn’t be crushed and I was fine. I’ve been taking my pills whole since then and I’ve been just fine.
When i left the hospital i was told anything the size of an M&M or smaller I could swallow.

My surgeon said anything larger than the tip of a pencil eraser had to be crushed, or broken in half.

      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! 😞
