X post - I'm home

everything went fine.  I hurt like hell - to be expected.  I've got a pump and a drip that I need to empty.  Trying to follow all my rules.  But I must do something about the calcium chewables.  They burn the hell off my tongue.  (bariatric advantage cinnamon)

My tongue is in a git of a mess.  May have got damaged as they put th e tube down.  I got short changed on pain meds the day after surgery.  (She forgot to bring them and then when I got them at 3pm the day after my surgery I had a violent migraine which the meds did nothing for.  Finally got the right thing at 3am this morning.

My back is sore from the bed moving and puffing up to stop clots.  Glad to be home. 

Anyway, in terms of surgery itself it went good.  But I've had the hiccups ever since.  Looking forward to feeling better.

Now understand what another poster meant when she said she felt like she'd been hit by a train.  Hopefully each day will get better.

Hi, I use over the counter Caltrate chocolate flavored calcium chews, 1200 a day plus D vitamin.  It is softer and does not make you tongue feel like a cats (rough). 

Sorry you are having trouble with your tongue, but it should recover.  The train feeling should start to fade after about a week, week and half. 

Hang in there and think about how much healthier you will be in a few months!

Hi there. I just checked out the Caltrate chocolate flavored calcium chews you were talking about and found that they are made of Calcium Carbonate that we do not absorb very well. We are supposed to take Calcium Citrate.

Just thought I'd let you know.
