Crushing medication...blech!



Recommended Posts

I'm on my clear liquid diet and I have to crush my pills twice a day and drink them for two months. I can't take it anymore. I CAN'T TAKE IT ANYMORE!!!!!

Any suggestions on liquids that might make them taste better? They're pretty much not gonna stay down soon. I CAN'T TAKE IT ANYMORE!!!!

I'd love to but my surgeon is pretty strict.

We also take all our pills without crushing, at least 12 a day including the supplements. The only thing I refused to swallow was the huge Multivitamin, and I went with Source of Life liquid Gold and it tastes awesome and my labwork has been excellent. You can swallow the pills easily.

My surgeon won't even release his patients from the hospital until they swallow their meds whole.

I was given samples of Bari Life supplements. They come in a powder form, you mix in Water and have different flavors. these have all the Vitamins we are supposed to have...all in one powder! I think I will order some because I do not like taking so many different pills!

I have not been taken off my normal meds yet and have to crush 4 of my pills right now ..... I hate it too!! They make me gag so I started taking them with a flavored drink like my Protein Shake or a glass of skim milk to help take my mind off the taste.

      Hi everyone, I wrote back in May about having no strength. I still get totally exhausted just walking from room to room, it’s so bad I’m using a walker with wheels of all things. I had the gastric sleeve Jan. 24th. I’m doing exactly what the programs says, except protein shakes. I have different meats and protein bars daily, including vitamins daily. I do drink my fluids as well.  I go in for IV hydration 4 days a week and feel ok just til evening.  So far as of Jan 1st I’ve dropped 76 lbs. I just want to enjoy the weight lose. Any suggestions or has anyone else gone thru this??  Doctor says just increase calorie intake, still the same.

      Losing my hair in clumps and still dealing with "stomach" issues from gallbladder removal surgery. On the positive side I'm doing better about meeting protein and water goals and taking my vitamins, so yay? 🤷‍♀️

      I've hit a stall 9 months out. I'm not worried, though. My fitness levels continue to improve and I have nearly accomplished my pre-surgery goal of learning to scuba dive! One dive left to complete to get my PADI card 🐠
      I was able to go for a 10K/6mile hike in the mountains two days ago just for the fun of it. In the before days, I might have attempted this, but it would have taken me 7 or 8 hours to complete and I would have been exhausted and in pain for the next two days. Taking my time with breaks for snacks and water, I was finished with my wee jaunt in only 4 hours 😎 and really got to enjoy photographing some insects, fungi, and turtles.
