I am 1 week post op. I thought I would need a lot of timers to take my meds and vitamins post op, but i have been doing pretty good. I have a lot of pills to take, like 14, and I need to space them out right now at least 1/2 hour from each other. I would have more if I did not have liquid vitamins and melts. To take all these pills, i just sorted my pills into a single container (pill bag) for the day and carry it with me. When i dont have pockets, i even tuck them in my bra. I know which ones are 2x a day, and take my first set of those in the morning. Then just work on my once a days... by night time all i have left is the second set of 2x a day.
Sometimes, my timing is a little off and they bunch up toward the end of the day. But i dont let myself go to sleep till they are gone. So mostly it goes ok.
It does take some focus. I now wake up and drink protein, take meds, and drink vitamins as part of a morning routine. Everything I do is also portable right now since i am a very busy person - to account for when the normal routine would not be possible. I try and remember that I am working to train myself for healthier habits. Which means that I need to start leveraging routines. I really dont like routines.
I am determined to be a healthier person now. If this is what it takes - I can routine with the best of them.
If your referring to vitamin patches they do not work. Vitamins can not be reduced chemically to just a patch that can then be absorbed through the skin. I've asked both a doctor and a scientist and they both laughed, and wished they thought of the idea to make money on, but they both have said it isn't scientifically possible at this point, and I would be wasting my money.
