tablets on milk diet? - WLSurgery.com

wannabeslimagain · 15th October, 2009

Hi there, I am on a bunch of tablets for different things at the moment and was wondering if I can take them while i am on the pre op milk diet, i know after the op thay have to be in liquid form but what about pre surgery????
Thanks for reading xxx

I can't see there being a problem, hun, as long as you take any NSAIDs, levothyroxine and iron tablets alongside food. The information sheets in the packets will tell you if you have to take them with food (including yoghurt), or an empty stomach. 20 days eh? eeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeek!

Yes you definately can I take around 12/14 tabs daily and took them throughout you should never stop your prescribed meds
The milk you are having will help protect your stomach so dont worry
Good luck

Yup Gillabean and Fairyring uk are right, you must continue with your meds

I have no advice other than I was fine with my meds during milk diet. Just wanted to wish you well for the pre-op diet. Don't despair on days 1-3 - it gets a lot easier after day 3

Lisa you'll be fine taking your meds, if there was anything you should'nt take, then the team would advise you.Good luck with the pre op dietxxxx

I think the only reason you need your meds in liquid form post op, is because of the restriction you will have following surgery. This coupled with the bruising etc could cause tablets to get stuck. Since the pre-op diet is to shrink the liver, providing you take your tabs as directed, there should be no problems. It might be worth checking with the Bariatric surgery team if you have to stop/restrict any medication prior to surgery? I have to stop my aspirin for 3 days.
