I only took one capsule so I opened it up and put the beads on my tongue being careful not to chew them (extended release). It was easy to swallow. But if they are small it should be ok.

I am 5 days post-op and I have to crush my meds as well. I am having a difficult time for they are very bitter and make me nauseous. I try to mask the taste in FF pudding but liquid is the way to go. Best wishes.

Hi everyone! I'm scheduled to be sleeved July 25th. I'm on three different daily meds; Lisinopril (for high bp,) Celexa (for anxiety/depression,) and Klonopin (as needed for anxiety/panic attacks.) I know during my recovery post-op, some meds are difficult to swallow. I did speak to my nutritionist about this, and she recommended asking my doctor if my medications come either in dissolvable forms or liquid. My doctor said to speak with my pharmacist which I'm planning to do, but I wanted to ask here if anyone had trouble taking their daily meds and/or pain meds after surgery and during your recovery period? As always, thanks in advance.

I didn't have any problems taking my meds orally after the surgery. I was taken off Lisinopril pre-op and the surgery caused a lowering of my blood pressure so I didn't have to go back on it! But I take 2 different allergy meds, something for my fibro pain and Lexapro...I haven't had issues with any of them. I talked with a pharm-D before my surgery and he suggested that I try taking things as I currently do (none are coated tablets or capsules) and if they all seemed to be working fine, to stick with that. Otherwise, I would have had to switch fibro meds to a liquid and take children's varieties of my allergy meds. When you talk with the pharmacist, he or she will be able to help you a great deal. Good luck!

      Losing my hair in clumps and still dealing with "stomach" issues from gallbladder removal surgery. On the positive side I'm doing better about meeting protein and water goals and taking my vitamins, so yay? 🤷‍♀️

      I've hit a stall 9 months out. I'm not worried, though. My fitness levels continue to improve and I have nearly accomplished my pre-surgery goal of learning to scuba dive! One dive left to complete to get my PADI card 🐠
      I was able to go for a 10K/6mile hike in the mountains two days ago just for the fun of it. In the before days, I might have attempted this, but it would have taken me 7 or 8 hours to complete and I would have been exhausted and in pain for the next two days. Taking my time with breaks for snacks and water, I was finished with my wee jaunt in only 4 hours 😎 and really got to enjoy photographing some insects, fungi, and turtles.
