Swallowing Pills

Since my surgery I have been taking chewable vitamins. At this point, just the thought if them makes me gag. I'm still getting full on very little food. When were you able to start swallowing whole pills with liquid?

When I started on solid food I was told I could also go to my hard pill vitamins again. But I can only take one hard pill at a time and sometimes it still makes me feel sick but fight to keep it down cuz I know its good for me. I'm 7 almost 8 weeks post-op

I was allowed to take my pills the same night that i had surgery. But don't just follow what my doc had me do - check with your doc!

I was also able to take non-chewable medication on the day after surgery.

After they saline locked my IV in the hospital I got sick in the evening and they couldn't administer gravol through my IV. They gave me gravol by mouth and I tolerated it fine
