Liquid meds

[Phojay]

Hi all,

quick question.......after having a bypass, do you always have to take your meds in liquid form? I take thyroxine and citirizine daily along with multivits and omega 3 oil tabs. Just wondered how I'll need to take them after op?

Many thanx

for the first few weeks you should take in liquid form then after that you will be ok on pills. You can get liquid thyroxine dont no about the other you take

Hi i take thyroxine, i had bypass and was able to take the thyroxine tablets as normal 3 days after op as they are tiny tablets. You asked to take multivitamin for life after the op, i had to restart taking my multi vitamins 2 weeks after the op, broke them in two and they are fine. I ould advise you to speak to the bariatric team with regards to your tablets as it appears that every team is different in how they work.Hope this helps. xxx

Hi, can only tell you my experience as all docs/hospitals are different. I was given liquid meds (except for my bp pill so I had to crush it), enough for two weeks on discharge from the hospital. I was then asked to see my gp during that first 2 weeks to get my prescriptions in tablet form and I began then at 2 weeks post-op taking them. I do take citirizine daily, never had a problem.

HTH,
Nic
