Topic: RE: how are me suppose to take all these medications?
I take Levothyroid, which is small to begin with, but I break it in half. Have you talked to your prescribing physician or pharmacist about options? Some drugs cannot be split or crushed without compromising the integrity of the medication. Hope that helps!

Topic: how are me suppose to take all these medications?
I have 3 different pills (nonchewable) and I am still on a liquid diet.  How do I take all these?  Do you guys crush them or just take them as they are.  Please give me some input?  Hope everyone is doing well.

Thanks for the advice....I have pain in my thighs too.  Not to the point of crying but pretty bad.  I am doing good.  I am hungry though.  Is that normal?  Maybe it is in my head.

Please update us as soon as you can. Its been a long two weeks. please ask any questions. I have found I have some pretty serious pain on my left side that a couple of other people also have had. Been told this will reside within a month. Mine is mainly in my outer upper thigh area and gets worse with laying down. but can hurt to the point of tears. My surgeon said its normal after I called him crying. We hear all the success but none of the trails and it scared me when I had never heard of this. Praying for your speedy recovery.

Topic: I Made It!!

hi everyone-
had my lap band surgery on tuesday, and spent the entire recovery ****il 12:30 that night) feeling like crap.  had an adverse reaction to the pain medication and everytime i lifted my head i becam dizzy and dry heaved uncontrollably -sorry guys :( 
i couldnt even get out of bed to walk and i had such good intentions! well, around midnight, i did get up and walked around the unit a little bit, then had a small bout of the nausea, but within a few hours i was raring to go! by 6 am everyone was suprised at how much i had improved and said i was doing great! (stopped the dilaudid and had been switched to toradol-i love that drug!).  i came home yesterday afternoon, been sipping water, walking around and am just sore achey  & tired now.  i couldnt sleep a wink for the past 2 nights; couldnt get comfortable.  today i had some protein drink and a half teaspoon of yogurt and that has been more than enough to fill me.   i did by the way, lose 13 lbs in the week of doing liquids..

well, to all my fellow June dates, hope all is doing well! i really enjoy the exchange of support and ideas and look foward to continuing together on this journey

have a great day!

I know that you are going to be fine.  I am a ball of nerves too.  I am glad I didn't need to do anything else but a liquid diet....but can I say I am starving.  I am hoping to get some sleep tonight.  I didn't get any last night.  Good luck to you and thanks for sharing your luck with me.  ..  Keep in touch after you have been sleeved.
