I just took 3 pills (multivitamin and 2 daily medications) at the same time. I didn't even think. The second I swallowed, I thought "oh crap". Will I live? Will I block something up? Eeeeek!! Please tell me its ok, just don't make a habit of it....

I do that every day. Twice in the morning (4 pills of regular medication) then about 1 hour later 4 Vitamins. If I drink too much Water, I get a little tummy ache, but nothing more adverse than that.

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!

Nope you should be fine. My doc asks us not to stack pills like that but your stomach acid should make short order of them relatively quickly!

      I changed my profile image to a molecule of protein. Why? Because I am certain that it saved my life.

      Two years out. Lost 120 , regained 5 lbs. Recently has a bout of Norovirus, lost 7 pounds in two days. Now my stomach feels like it did right after my surgery. Sore, sensitive to even water.  Anyone out there have a similar experience?

      April Surgery
      Am I the only struggling to get weight down. I started with weight of 297 and now im 280 but seem to not lose more weight. My nutrtionist told me not to worry about the pounds because I might still be losing inches. However, I do not really see much of a difference is this happen to any of you, if so any tips?
      Thanks

      Well recovering from gallbladder removal was a lot like recovering from the modified duodenal switch surgery, twice in 4 months yay 🥳😭. I'm having to battle cravings for everything i shouldn't have, on top of trying to figure out what happens after i eat something. Sigh, let me fast forward a couple of months when everyday isn't a constant battle and i can function like a normal person again! 😞
