    I swallow all my pills whole. My Vitamin is a horse pill and I have no choice. I haven't had a problem yet and I'm 5 days post op as well. Sent from my iPhone using the BariatricPal App

I was given my blood pressure and sleeping pills by hospital staff starting the day after surgery. They had me swallow them whole with Water. No issues. You'll be just fine. :)

I was told anything smaller than an M&M is fine.

I've never had any restrictions on swallowing my pills. In the hospital, the day after my surgery I was given my normal pills to take. Now just over 3 months out, I have taken whole pills ever since. No worries!
