follow up on my pill post

so, after seeing all the pills, vitamins everyone takes, (some more then others) I thought, I better stop whinning and just take my little damn pill everyday.  so I got up today, and said to myself, "Self, I think you should take a stool softner today"  Yes, Tony, it might make me fart.  but, anyway, it was 9:00 am, so I crushed it and mixed it with water.  yup, I slimmed for 45 mins.  was in pain and said, "F ' this, I don't need to **** that bad"  so later in day was able to take my other pill (split in half).  I"m so confused now, I dont' remember which one I took and if that was yesterday, or this morning.  Dang, I'm a bonehead.  I have one freakin pill to take and I can't remember if I took it.  I need to figure out a routine.  do any of you get confused? with pills.  such a simple thing is getting the best of me. lol

LOL  have you seen that infomercial regarding "Total Body Cleansing System"?  You could have several lbs of impacted fecal matter!    eeewwwww~  But that should get that scale moving!  He He

and yes, 2 seconds after taking a pill, I wonder did I take it?  Oh gosh! I am getting old!!

time to get a sunday thru saturday pill container. i have 2. one marked am and one marked pm. it really does help.

you crack me up!

haha, Lisa I have one, I just don't take the time to do it for one pill a day.  did you see the vlog i put up yesterday, talk about "PIll containers"

I just try to take my pills at the same time so I know pretty much if I have taken them  or not....prevacid/multis in the am and calcium/vit d in the pm. ....colace inbetween!! lol  The only pill I have trouble with is the calcium supplement because it's pretty big and chalky (my others had a nice coating on them but of course they were carbonate not citrate.)

I do the pill box too!  I fill it Sunday evening after I've taken my second multivitamin and I'm good for the week!  Then I know when I've forgotten to take something!  Although, that freaking Carafate gets me every time!  4 times a day is just TOO much, I say!  Glad I can stop it later this week!  Merry Christmas to me, right?  haha

Try the pill box.....if you want one...ask the home health nurse to give you one for DH and you can "steal" it from him...haha!

Sorry you slimed on the pills though......might have to take them later in the day?  Does your band get better as the day goes on still?

yes, It does get better, but during the day, but I forget. in the am and pm I give MLM his meds and it is when I remember, but it is when he is gone I get all screwed up and forget, especially since I can't take pills before noon time.  I have a pill box, I used before wls, when I took more vitamins, I stopped taking them since Dr. L said I don't need them and I can't swallow or cut capsils or oil pills.  so I don't need the pill box.  If I remembered to go to the box I'd remember to take the damn pill.  I need to find something I do everyday to remind me to take them.  but I never do the same thing 2days in a row. 

how about setting up a repeating alarm on your cell phone to remind you?

thanks for all your suggestions,  I"ll just have to figure something out.  I dont' use my cell phone, I keep it in my car for emerencies only.  I would normally just put the pills on the counter till I can take them, but I can't do that with MLM, he would take them.  it shouldn't even be a problem, gee,  "Its only one little pill" lol  hopefully, when I loose weight I can stop taking it.
