Topic: RE: Pills and after Surgery.......Ambien CR, Diovan
 I'm post op 2 weeks and I was told that NOT to take any time-released tabs, you will need to go to your Primary Care Doc and get your Rx's adjusted.  You will either have to crush them and eat with someting, or see if it can come in a liquid form.

Luckily I didn't have any time release meds but the crushing is kinda disgusting, but I have it down to a science now, lol

I crush my pill in my crusher, make some strong crystal light lemonade.  take a spoon of crystal light, sprinkle the meds little by little on the spoon and swallow.  follow with a spoon chaser and repeat until the pill is gone.

I hope that helps, or makes sense even, lol

Topic: Looking for others that had sx around 9/12
 I'm just curious if others are having the same hard time that I am or it's just me?  lol  I know I can't "compare" but it would be nice to get some other perspectives.

I'm nauseaus most of the time.  

Thinking about eating anything / drinking protein shakes makes me ill

water, crystal light, tea aren't a problem at all

I'm seriously constipated 99% of the time.  Considering I'm hardly eating, this is odd!  But when I DO go, I GO, lol  (sorry)

I really hope this passes because I honestly couldn't live like this, it's awful.  

(and before anyone asks... YES I'm following dr's program , and yes I told him my concerns on Friday, he said it will pass... it's just my body adjusting )

Welcome to the September crew!  (Sorry so delayed in reponding back).  This is a great forum especially if you have a certain topic/question that relates to a recent surgery.  Good Luck on your weight loss, and hope to talk with you again.

    

If I lived on the moon, I would only weigh 24.4 pounds.
