So I am wondering if any of you are on prescriptions and how you are taking them. I see many people say that they can't take large gulps of water and if they sip more than three sips they upchuck what they drank. This worries me as I take 5 prescriptions at night. Just looking for a little info as my surgery is 3 weeks and 4 days away.

Depending on what it is for I held off taking mine for a couple of days. Tried crushing them which was impossible for me to take and then by day 3 just took them one at a time slowly. No problem. Hope your as lucky because crushed and liquid forms are yucky options

Thanks I appreciate it.

I am 4 days post op and can take my meds fine with a couple sips of water. No big deal. I take 5 pills, one is a regular size capsule.

I took and still take numerous medications. I didn't have any problem swallowing, my problem was with being nauseous. Especially in the beginning, when you aren't eating food. I also had to spread the mess out, so not to take too many at once. I never had any problems with not being able to sip enough water. I am almost 3 months post surgery and I can actually take some big "gulps" now.

I was taking 9 or 10 pills daily pre-op and when discharged I was taking 2 per day!! At my 2 week appt they added 1/2 a pill back for bp.

None were a problem to swallow.

I even took some pills they gave me in the hospital...not a issue at all for me since the.beginning
