As anyone had to take antibiotics since surgery? How did you stomach take it?

It is ok ...I had my surgery on june 15 ...and had antibiotic a week later ..it hurts a bit and I had to break z pill into pieces to swallow it ..also I had a stall at that week and I think it is related to z antibiotic ..but pounds melt off just after that

Thanks. I've been reluctant but I think I have strep.

I'm 9 days out from my surgery. I had a post op infection that kept me in hospital for the first week. They had me on IV antibiotics in the hospital and it me on a 2 week course of augmentin. I'm on 2nd day and my stomach seems fine. Only down side is bathroom runs.

They gave me HORSE pills for augmentin. I wish I would have asked them if the med came in liquid form or much smaller pills. I bought a pill crusher and I grind them up and have put the pill dust into my shakes and this morning my apple sauce

I developed sepsis earlier this month after getting a piece of glass in my foot. (6 months post-op VSG.) We did a combination of IV antibiotics, oral liquid antibiotics, and huge oral pill antibiotics cut in half (not crushed). I was able to get them down easily, but they did make me queasy. I wasn't able to eat much of anything for several days, then developed thrush from the antibiotics which prevented me from eating for a few days more. I worked hard to stay hydrated, so I had no complications from dehydration, and the not eating for a solid week contributed to me busting out of a very long stall.

Thank you for all of y'all's input.

fyi there are MANY antibiotics that can be compounded into liquid form, just remind the doc you see that you can't really take pills right now, and would prefer a liquid. shouldn't be any problem!
