How long until I can stop crushing my pills?

I’m currently 1 month post op and I’m sick of having to open or crush my pills how long will this continue or is this a forever thing?

Side note: what about vitamin gummies? My doctor advised against it but I see some people here are using them and I’m jealous the chewable are large and gross.

Thanks in advance.

I never crushed my pills. I left the hospital with 3 prescriptions and the doctor said so long as I could swallow them ok (I could) that I didn't need to crush them.

i can take any pill that is the size of an m&m & i just cut my big one in half & had to get a 3 a day instead of 1 a day since it was time released.i luv my bariatric advantage soft chew vitamins


I take liquid Centrum. Vitamin
My only big pill that I had to crush was my pain medicine .. after that .. everything else went fine.
