Medicine question

I'm 5 days out. Do I need to be crushing my metformin?

I took a picture of it beside an Advil to so its size.

Don't wanna cause a leak...

    I crush my pills up to 3 months post op and cleared from the doctor. After 3 months I swallow them whole.

    I swallowed mine whole from the beginning. Thank God, I didn't have any problems.

    Yes you "should" be crushing those beasts. Or at very least cutting them into quarters. I was pretty naughty but I never had anything that big to swallow!!
