You should be fine. I've taken some larger than normal pills since my surgery and haven't had any issues. Bear in mind everyone is different but you should be fine.

I take a handful of supplements at a time twice per day. It looks like you were just sleeved, so I bet it wasn't comfortable, but the pills should dissolve and move through just fine. May want to pace yourself or cut the large pills in half (if it's safe with that medication) for a while!

Been swallowing pills from day one. Just pace yourself. I pulverize my Bariatric Advantage AE horse pill stink a** Vitamin and put it in a glass of prune juice (2 oz) and sugar free cran-grape juice (6 oz). Down the hatch 2 oz at a time.
