How soon after surgery did you start taking whole pills instead of crushed or liquid?

I don't know if I was supposed to but I took small ones about 2 months out. I could not crush Meds or take the liquids. I split the bigger pills.

I was taking whole pills immediately after surgery. They even gave me my hormone replacement whole in the hospital.

The following morning after surgery, and everyday since then.

Im taking full now. My pain meds arent liquid and I have a blood pressure pill I have to take.

Ok well im three weeks out, just filled up my pill keeper with all my vitamins, will start in the morning. Had all liquid until now except for my omeprazole prescription. Thanks guys!

8 weeks out.

I got sleeved on Wednesday and they had me swallow a small pill on Thursday afternoon after my leak test. It's now Friday and I am taking prilosec, tramadol, and Lexapro in pill form. They are all small tablets, smaller than my pinky fingernail.

I was swallowing really small pills two days after surgery. Capsules and small pills once I got home The guideline they gave me was capsules are okay and pills the size of M&Ms or smaller are okay. Do not break or crush time released or extended release pills.
