I am 2 months out and have always swallowed my pills. I take about 12 aday and have split them 6 in the morning and 6 at night. If i try 1 or 2 at a time with liquid I get to full and vomit, so i have to take all of them at the same time and a drink. I dont break any of mine. I just have to make sure I dont have a stomach full of food.:laugh0:

You can go to the pharmacy and buy a pill splitter. The one smaller than the m&m you can take. When I was having the BP problems Campos called me and told me I could take it whole. It was not very large. He said to be sure to drink a lot after it. I think they were worried about it getting stuck in the esophogus (?)

They are all the size of or smaller than an m&m and I am not having any problems the majority of the time swallowing anything so maybe tomorrow morning I will try them whole ... does this mean I could go back to my effexor XR which is a capsule? ANYONE KNOW? That would be a wonderful thing as I only have to take it 1x a day ... that would give me just 4 pills to take daily

I took capsules right off the bat. I was able to drink a lot of Water right from the beginning. I think it would be a problem if you are one of the people that have to take little tiny sips of water.

No, I can take large enough swigs to get a pill down. It's funny to me how I switch from warm things tasting the best, to now wanting things as cold as I can get them. Did you do that?

I got used to drinking things at room temp. when I had the band, so now I seem to prefer that. I can drink really cold things though, but with the band, I could not.

      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! 😞
