Hi guys,

I was wondering if anyone has been swallowing pills whole? (Tylenol, allergy meds, etc) as oppose to crushing them?

I just realized that I'm not allowed to take whole pills after being banded.... I mean I feel fine, but just wondering if I should be worried about anything? I'm 98 days post op..

Thanks!

I avoid ibuprofen if I can (it is very hard on even a normal stomach), but if I absolutely must, then I only will take a liquid cap. I think the medicine actually has a chance to move more quickly pass the stoma in a liquid cap. I also always try to get any supplements I take in a gel cap--I can open up the gel cap and put it directly in my morning smoothie that way.

I can and do. I've never had a problem with any sort of pills' date=' capsules, or tablets.[/quote']

Thanks
