How do you deal with your regular daily meds you were taking prior to your surgery. I take Metformin, thyroid meds, etc...?

I took my thyroid meds the day after surgery, that pill is tiny. I could also take my PPI capsule five days after surgery. Ask your doc, some things you may need to cut in half or sprinkle in applesauce, but others may be just fine to take as they are. Extended release meds are problematic for bypassers.

My Dr had me crush my pills that I regularly take and some could be gotten in liquid form.

I didnt have any issues and I take pills that are rather large. I guess im one of the quiet masses that doesnt have many issues post-surgery. (Other than the normal..gawd it hurts moments post-surgery.)

I was allowed to take meds from day one as long as they were either a capsule, or could fit through a medium straw. Anything larger I was either supposed to cut or crush. My meds were all small enough though.

For myself all meds have to fit through a straw. If not they have to be crushed or cut in half.
