Taking pills

[gomezk2 24]

I am almost 4 months post-op and wanted to ask if it is ok to take pills without crushing them.. I need to take a pill but the size of it is 3/4 inch. Do not know if that is too big or if it is ok to take.

What?!?!?! 4 months?!!?! I was allowed to swallow pills at 7 days post-op and have been with no ill effect ever since!

Ok but i am questioning the size of the pill.

I'm not advised to have pills until month 4 either. I'd be happy to wait till month 6.

I was allowed to take my really tiny pills (omeprazole and birth control) immediately post-op. I was taking all my pills of various sizes at 7 days post-op... including my big honking Calcium pills.

I was allowed to take a large capsule at 3 weeks post op.

I had heart complications when I had my surgery and had to take horse pills that could NOT be crushed. Wasn't easy, filled me up, but I was able to take them as prescribed...

I've been swallowing pills since immediately post-op. I've been swallowing my Multivitamin since a week out. Just takes a minute to make its way all the way down. ????

I was cleared for ANY pills, capsules, gel caps etc... one month post surgery. I've been off bariatric Vitamins and back on Silver Centrum since 9/1. I couldn't stand taking the baritrak vits (mixed with 8oz of Water downed in 15 minutes), or the chewable ones, they didn't make me sick, they were just disgusting.
