Hey, everyone! I was wondering what size pills we can take after we are past the six week healing period. I take Metformin and hate cutting it in half and it would be so cool to get it down in one swallow.

I was able to take pretty good sized pills 3 days after surgery. I was offered liquid hydrocodone, but I took the pill because the liquid was gross! (it was like alcohol) I can take several big pills at a time if I swallow them one at a time. I think metformin wont be a problem to get down.

Thank you for your answer! It sure will help to be able to swallow them whole.

I was told I can swallow any pills that are smaller than an M & M. Metformin is a bit bigger than that

Thank you for your answer! It sure will help to be able to swallow them whole.

I have been taking 500mg Metformin since week four post-op with no problem.
