What do you mix crushed medications in for drinking?



Recommended Posts

I'm crushing up all my Vitamins and pills, then mixing into my Soups. IT TASTES MEGA-NASTY.

What are you guys putting your crushed up medications in, to alleviate some of the horrible taste? I'm tired of nasty Soups.< /p>

Note: I can't get chewable versions of these meds.

If I were to make a suggestion, I would put them in a very small amount of sugar free pudding for example. Make sure it is not your personal favorite or you will never enjoy it again. Either that or use a shot glass with some crystal lite and get it over quick...

Do your pills have to be crushed or can you just cut them up? I have two blood pressure pills that are what I consider very small. I cut one in half and the other one in 4 little pieces. I use Yoplait lemon yogurt and put a tiny bit on the spoon, then I drop two or three pieces into the yogurt and swallow it down. I haven't tasted them at all and will continue to LOVE that yogurt after I no longer need to cut up my pills.

My PPI is in a capsule. I open it up, get a little bit of yogurt on a spoon sprinkle a few of the contents on the spoon and swallow without biting into the little pieces. My surgeon and pharmacist both agree this is fine.

I make sure to drink some Water after taking all these. Good Luck!!

I have been oked for swallowing pills after 2 weeks, before then I used a little bit of pudding or applesauce... then ate another bite without the meds after to clear the taste.

      Three months and four days ago... I was in Costa Rica having a life changing surgery! Yesterday we had a followup visit with Dr. Esmeral via video chat and this morning my middle number changed.  I'm down 47lbs and two pants sizes. I can wear a Large tshirt for the first time in like... 14 years! Woot!! Everything is going great. I have zero regrets. I went down to the riverwalk with a friend and walked 2 miles on Monday without even getting fatigued. And no more snoring or chugging pickle juice for crazy leg cramps! I need to go to the gym more... I'm making new shirts next week so that will motivate me. LOL But I'm also just not as TIRED all the time! I have a LONG way to go...but seeing the progress on the scales and in the mirror is a huge motivator!! Thank you all for cheering me on and supporting me!!

      Two months out from hiatal hernia repair.  Surgeon said to expect a lot more flatulence...something about the 'air' no longer being able to 'burp' out so comes out the other end.  That is my experience but have no understanding of why that swallowed air cannot be 'burped'. ???

        As I understand it since your stomach is smaller and not completely resting against your diaphragm anymore you no longer have the ability to "push" burps out as well. Plus, since its smaller and we don't digest slower the trapped air moves a lot quicker out of the stomach so its no longer available to burp out. Hence the other option for removal.

      Anyone had the TORe procedure? How did it go? How much weight did you loose?

        Me too girl!! Are you in the full liquid diet right now? It’s sooooo hard!

      2. LadyVeteran1

        Not yet. I was told I only have to do 24 hours of a liquid diet. But I have my pre-op tomorrow so I’m going to confirm if I need to do longer.
