Ok.......I just went and picked up my drugs for after surgery on Wednesday and I thought everything would be liquid and the pain med is but the nausea is pill form and the drug store said the Promethazine doesn't "really" come in liquid. I made them look again at the script and he said the doctor wrote it for tablets.

Anyone have this is liquid????????? I can't belive the doctor would write it for tablets if it comes in liquid.

Yes I have in liquid. I have Promethazine syrup plain which is substituted for phenergran syrup plain. I am suppose to take 1/2 teaspoon up to 3 times a day for nausea. I hope this helps.

Do you have trouble swallowing pills? I've been taking all of my pills since the day after surgery.

I have never had problems with pills post lapband, and I have excellent restriction now. I take a daily pill and just make sure to drink a cup of Water after. I do take chewable Vitamins because vitamins can be incredibly huge.

You may find that you don't have a problem with reasonably sized pills as long as they are not a "prohibited for banders" medication.

Hi:

My doctor said anything the size of an M&M or smaller should go down easily. Good luck because I know how nausea can be after surgery - yucky and painful.

I was told the size of a pencil eraser. I was also given a pill cutter, and cut everything in half, and sometimes in thirds-I'm very careful. I also took pills the day after surgery in the hospital. I also took tylenol in pills-cut in half. I never had nausea and was not issued anything for the before surgery, so maybe you don't need to worry about that.

I, also, take a chewable vitamin.

LOL...I was told as long as it's smaller than a "Good and Plenty."
