Hey Everyone- I am new to this forum and a recent lapbander- 2 weeks post op. I'm wondering how long we have to wait before we can start taking whole pills again. I have a lot of pills that i need to take for my depression and I am taking liquid Prozac, which is disgusting and I need a good idea of how long I need to crush these damn pills and drink this nasty liquid. Usually I would ask my drs but my surgeon gave me a completely roundabout answer and my nutritionists gave me differing answer.

Help please! And thank you!

I think I was taking mine whole by 2 weeks.

Depending on the size of the pill. Smaller ones I can take whole. I have a very LARGE Rx.. that I cut in half. I'd rather take that one whole since it's time released.

My Dr. had me taking pills the day after surgery. the pain meds he rescribed me were pills. Even on my tightest days, I can usually get a pill down. I even just strated taking fish oil pills, and those suckers are huge!

i was swallowing whole pills a week after surgery.

Strange. But good! Thanks guys

wow my Dr said if its smaller than a penut I can take it otherwise never again. Hmmmm it is so amazing to me the very different answers we lap band peeps get.

That's what I'm talking about! It's all very confusing. But I guess its just a trial and error thing for each person.

i take a pill for depression, a pill for anxiety, 3 tylenol pm's, and an iron pill every night and all at the same time with NO problems at all!
