Wo0 ho0 I'm HoMe!!!
yeah It's really crazy to be feeling this full.. How are you getting in ur tums, pepcid, and vitamins? Are u chewing them and drinking water? Or crushing them and putting them in something?.. How are u spacing them out so you can get them in twice a day? .. hmm this part is kind of tricky for me..
What is the Tums for, gas? If it is you may want to ask your surgeon if it would be OK for you to use disolvable gas-x strips, no swallowing required. As for pills, I swallowed mine, but my calcium Iand multi-vitamins were in a chewable form starting out, so really the only pill I had to swallow was the pain pills, and even those are available in liquid if you ask for them. But, trust me it will get easier to swallow as time goes by. Also, if you didn't already know, room temp liquids are often much easier to swallow then hot or cold liquids - for some reason many of us experience discomfort when we dring because of spasms in our esophagus. Good luck and welcome to the Loser's Bench!
