I'm told to crush my pills larger than an eraser head post op. My dr told me to put in apple sauce but how can I do that during my first 2 weeks while on liquids? Putting in Water could get rough ...

How did you guys deal with this?

Thanks

I didnt want to deal with crushing so I was told by my doctor I could use sf liquid acetaminophen...most of the hospital pharmacy should carry it, pretty cheap..its also sold on Amazon ...good luck

My MD let me take tablets the day of surgery - just told me to take one then wait 5 minutes before taking another. Had no problems.

I tried crushing mine.... I'm on a prescription Vitamin... that sucker made me puke to no end.... tried cutting it in half, didn't work. Need that nice waxy coating to get it past my tongue. I was able to start taking pills about 5 days post op. Before that I just did without. Now I will say that lovely vitamin gives me that stuck in your throat feeling but in my stomach.... I hate taking pills.

I mixed mine with a swallow of cream of chicken/mushroom soup. The salty taste form the soup really masked the bitter powder taste pretty well .

I just took mine whole.

My pills have to be no bigger than an aspirin per my doctor. I take a larger one so had to call the pharmacist to get the okay to break the pill in half. Some meds don't work if you break/crush them. I got chewable vitamins and calcium per Dr. Malley for post op.
