Crushing meds--GAG!! Question for ya'll

By Hotenuf2

· 367 views

Ok so my last fill,,,unfill...has left me with needing to crush all my pills. After almost a year of getting away with just cutting them in half. Barfing them is NOT an option! ugh. So I crushed them...and used cookies and cream ice cream to get them down. just 4 spoonfuls, But I am looking for a better way to then get the powder down. A few taste SO bad...I had to chase the ice cream with water to even get that to slide down.

 

So please share with me what you guys do to take your pills easier.

 

Eww..but let me add...after my un-fill...I feel so much better and am down to 219!! HOLY COW~!! IT is amazing!

    I know what you mean..I take a handful everynight myself!! I use applesauce and stir it up and then eat it. You can get the sugar free kind..add cinnamon to it and it tastes pretty good.

    Congrats on the 219!!

    Take care!!

    I use yogurt . .. light yogurt, like the Boston Creme flavor . . it's like a treat , so it's not bad to take the meds. Good luck

    I use jam or jelly (with no chunks of fruit)...You can get sugar free or diabetic jams...I go for the good stuff - And use only a teaspoon - It's all I need.
