Well, I moved over to the loser side of the bench....had my lap band put in on Tuesday....feeling pretty good - taking out pain pouch today should make me feel better....

I have a question for anyone - how did you start taking your medications again?  Did you crush them?  Did you just swallow them and hope they go down? 

I am trying to get my drugs in - but they taste NASTY all crushed up and stuff.....

Thanks for any info,

Mel

I swallowed my meds normally, but I split them all in half.  If you have meds that can't be split in half (like time release meds) you might want to talk to your doc about switching to a form of the medication that you can split or maybe a liquid version.  

Congrats on your surgery! :)

First off Congratulations!!!! WElcome to the loosers bench!

I took all my meds as normal! I took them one at a time and made sure to wait a minute or two inbetween them... ( This is me personally)

After a couple of fills you may want to break them in half if your able too..

Good Luck!
