Taking capsuls after surgery - help!

I just was sleeved and got home. One of the medications I take is in capsul form - I can pull it apart and dissolve it and then swallow that but the pharmacy says don't dissolve it to take it whole and drink clear fluid - HELP! (Not supposed to have anything but clear liquids right now so what do I do about this capsul?)

It's a med that the doc prescribed, or a pre-existing one? I don't think they exclude meds from the clear liquid list. I also assume your doc took a history on you which included, "what medicines are you currently taking?" I'd take it.

I was sleeved this week and also take a med that says not to crush. My doctors both my surgeon and pcp told me it was ok to crush. No major problems so far. They Aldo told me to mix in a small tsp of yogurt. I'm also on clear liquids.

LOL someone is posting on their iPhone :sleep0: I hate when some of the autocorrects... especially that one.

I had to wait a month to take capsules. I'd call your doctor. I took my first vitamin capsules this week and puked them right back up. The capsules can be hard on the sleeve.
