Does anyone know how we're supposed to take pills post-op? I currently take a few, and my doctor says I can crush them up. However, if I'm on a liquid diet after the surgery, what can I mix the pills into? Additional question: If the pills require to be taken on a full stomach, what will I do about that, as my stomach will definitely not be full?

I now know that I should have been pulled from my BP meds first, because I was having very low BP before long after the surgery. I should have got a wrist BP cuff before my surgery. We had two arm ones that were left over after my dad passed, but those take two people... I asked his doctors about the wrist cuffs and they said that those were not as good, yet the next visit that's what they were using.
I was taking a lot of Rx. Cholesterol and BP were 'prophylactic' just to ward it off... They dropped the cholesterol pill first. But, I left the hospital taking all my meds.
I guess we're all different, but I should have been more proactive. I know my body better than they do. I knew I wasn't feeling good. It took 3 months before I did so. I started dropping meds as it made sense to me.
As an aside. I'd never been drunk, ever. I've got nothing against drinking, I just never felt the need. But, the few times I'd have a margarita or 4, I'd still be sober. Now two swallow of tequila or rye and I'm practically falling down drunk... I ought to keep it by my bed have two swallows and go to sleep very easily. Hah.

My Doctor told me to take my pills two at a time instead of a handful at a time like I did before surgery. It is a little annoying but, would much rather do it this way that to chance tasting those nasty things. I take 18 pills in the am, 5 in the afternoon and, 4 an hour before bed every night.

I took all my pills normally. No difference post-op from pre-op.

You might reconcider drinking alcohol as I've heard it causes ulcers and our stomachs are small enough to do some damage.
