I am having gastric bypass on March 4. I have several medications that I take that have nothing to do with weight loss surgery, and I will add the bariatric vitamins after surgery. I've been told that I will need to crush the pills for a while, and I wanted to hear how people dealt with that. Do you put them in a protein drink, in water, or something else?

I've been crushing mixing my pills with water... at first I didnt mix it with anything but Water but couldn't do it anymore like that. So I ended up adding a splenda packet which is acceptable because it's a sugar substitute. It is still gross but definitely better than before.

Thanks, Nonsense. I first tried them in Greek yogurt, which someone suggested earlier, but that was disgusting. Right now I'm just pouring the powder into mouth and chasing it with water. Still disgusting, but bearable. I'll try them in water next time!

Yeah, I was told to crush mine but it the taste was unbearable despite trying it in different mediums. Now I quarter the pills and take it with applesauce and it is so much more pleasant.
