I'm back from surgery!

Well, I made it through. I am alittle sore and very tired, but getting better every day. Right now I am struggling to get in all my pills. I crushed them all, but feel so full, I hae been taking one an hour. Surgery went well. Just wanted to post that I am ok. Will post more later when I feel better. Thanks for all of the support you guys sent me! Anne Lap RNY 5/24/04

Welcome Back Anne!! Glad everything went well with your surgery! Thats what I did with my pills when I had to take them. With my gallbadder med I put them in the pudding it didn't taste so bitter. If you need anything please feel free to ask!!! Carmen

Anne, welcome to the losing side. I'm so glad everything went well with your surgery The crushed pill thing stinks, but you get used to it. You'll feel better every day. Welcome to the losing side. Maggie

Welcome back Anne! Good to see you're doing well. I know what you mean about the pills. My Dr. yesterday told me if one is so bitter, to break it up into smaller doses throughout the day, if possible to do with certain types of meds. That's just a short time of suffering anyhow. Make sure you get your water in too! Welcome to the losers bench! Michelle

Hi Anne, Welcome home!!! I'm so glad your surgery went well. Your little steps to big successes has started. I was on a lot of meds, so I know what you mean, its feels like it takes all day to get them in, but I went from 10 meds to 3 in a short time, so believe me it will get better. If you have any questions, you know where to find us. Take good care of yourself and a little pampering never hurt. Best wishes, Mary Lou
