Yikes!!!

This is going to be a fun day!!!!!  NOT!!!!!!!!
This is the first FULL day of taking all this new medication.  So......help me figure this out!   I have to take the Carafate 4x/day, 1 hour before meals (or 2-3hours after meals...on an empty stomach, in other words) and I have to take the Prevacid before a meal too (got that an hour after the Carafate this morning). Then, all my other vitamins at some point this morning.

My issue is....since the Doc wants me eating 6 small meals a day to support my blood sugars, which meal do I take the Carafate before??   I'm kinda "winging" it today and see what happens.  AND, since I am working, I kinda just catch meals as I can in between patient visits as my schedule is unpredictable at times.  Oh MAN, am I excited about all this!  NOT!!

So far, my stomach still hurts whenever something gets into it (and in between too..but worse when I put anything into it, including water).  Hopefully the meds will start working more today.

If anyone has ideas on how to schedule all the meds and meals, please let me know!  I thought about staying home from work today, but I have a 2 hour meeting I need to go to this afternoon......YUCK!  Oh well!

Have a great day everyone!!!!
Hugs,
Ruth

Oh my.....that is a challenge. Not much help here....need to get to Dunkin Donuts to get my brain engaged.....but I just wanted to say I can see your dilemma!!!

Dunkin??? thought after surgery cant have any caffine?? I'm confused....  Any way  Sorry about the meds... I'm not sure how you would do it either...   Maybe take the prev and the cara at the same time then eat an hour and the take them again....  Dunno Good luck hun!

Hi Ruth,
Oh my didn't realize you were in such pain, I'm so sorry.  I hope you get a schedule that suits the pouch and you.

i just stopped taking that. no big deal. i tried to remember to take it at least a half hour before meals and again at bed time. the morning one is the hard one. i usually took that with my meal. i felt awesome within a few days and my results from the endoscopy were normal. good luck

phew, i'm glad i'm not the only one who can't figure that one out.  but if anyone can figure it out, its YOU Dear.... write it on paper,  that's me, a list person, that way once you figure it out, you dont' go over it a million times in your head.  I hope this all works for you, I don't want you sick.  Good Luck,  HUGSssssssssssssssss !!!!  Cheryl

Like I just said in my other post...........YOU ALL ARE THE BEST!!!!!!   

I know I'll figure it out somehow!  Luckily my day at work is falling apart, so it gives me a bit more time to get this all worked into some type of schedule!  WOOHOO!!  Still have that crappy meeting this afternoon though!! 

Have a wonderful day everyone!   I'm off to work!  YIPPEE!         NOT
