I don't really have to crush my meds, but if I did, I supposed that would be on the list. Instead it's protien powders, lol.

I can almost guarantee that whoever is voting on other things has never had to use fleet phosphorous soda!!!!!! Believe me, I will opt out of having something done if I am ever told I have to take it again!!!!! UGHHHHH! You don't even want to throw it up because you don't want to taste it again!!!!!!

I only tried 2 Protein powders.....the 2nd was unjury and I still use it to this day. It's pretty good.

Never had fleet phospho soda, but I have had the other brand of the same stuff. I didn't have a big problem with it. Wouldn't do it now, it's carbonated.

I take my Calcium via the chewable viactiv's. They're like candy.< /p>

The chalky barium wasn't that bad, it was that other yellowy stuff (gastrographin?) that was really yucky.

BUT, THE ABSOLUTE WORST...........is crushed up meds or opened up capsules. YUCK! Fortunately, I only take one pill that is small enough that I can swallow it whole. Any other pill I have to take on occasion, I break it into small enough pieces that I can still swallow it with a drink of Water or on a spoon full of applesauce. I'd rather do that than have that syrupy sickening liquid crap as well. Once, I had to open antibiotic capsules and let me tell ya, I think I'd have rather suffered with the infection..........GAG ME!

I hve had to crush anitbiotics twice for a bad respiratory infection. Honsestly, it was the worst, most bitter thing I have ever tasted. Nothing masked it. Not yogurt, not pudding.< /p>

Hi All,

Vitamines are the worst for me. I tried the chewables; before surgery thank goodness because they made me vomit. They are too big to chew well and get down quickly.

liquid Vitamins aren't much better but, if I chase it with some Water and a piece of gum, I do ok. I take it over the sink because if I tast it at all, I gag so bad it might not stay down.

I dont take any medications regularly and have no problems with whole pills anyhow. I expected the barium swallow stuff to taste awful but it's only the once, so definitely Protein powders/shakes for me. I will never willingly consume a Protein shake. They taste like slurping down a warm fish milkshake. Yuck yuck yuck.

I'm not a good Vitamin taker either though. I just hate the sensation of swallowing big pills.< /p>

what makes me gag the most? ANY french fries, chicken strips & chicken nuggets from chick-fil-a. I used to love chick-fil-a but I can't eat there any more.

I have a really tough time w/ Scrod & chicken. They usually make me PB within minutes. What do you guys do when you know you took too large of a bite or didn't chew well enough? I've had some really embarassing moments w/ friends.

      I changed my profile image to a molecule of protein. Why? Because I am certain that it saved my life.

      Two years out. Lost 120 , regained 5 lbs. Recently has a bout of Norovirus, lost 7 pounds in two days. Now my stomach feels like it did right after my surgery. Sore, sensitive to even water.  Anyone out there have a similar experience?

      April Surgery
      Am I the only struggling to get weight down. I started with weight of 297 and now im 280 but seem to not lose more weight. My nutrtionist told me not to worry about the pounds because I might still be losing inches. However, I do not really see much of a difference is this happen to any of you, if so any tips?
      Thanks

      Well recovering from gallbladder removal was a lot like recovering from the modified duodenal switch surgery, twice in 4 months yay 🥳😭. I'm having to battle cravings for everything i shouldn't have, on top of trying to figure out what happens after i eat something. Sigh, let me fast forward a couple of months when everyday isn't a constant battle and i can function like a normal person again! 😞
