I am three weeks post opp and am wondering how big of pill I can take. Am a little worried to try capsules for the first time post opp.

Three weeks postop most of your swelling should be gone and if you haven't gotten a fill, you're probably going to be fine on swallowing pills and capsules.

I was fine with them up until my last fill. Large capsules now I avoid, and pills I try to take with warm Water to relax the band, otherwise I can feel them and I don't like the feeling.

It'll be different for everyone though. Best you can do is give it a try and see how it goes.

I use a pill crusher that I picked up for around $5 at CVS for ALL pills. Easy, and why take the chance ?

Absolutely make sure to check with your pharmacist before crushing any pills. There are some that should not be crushed.

Otherwise, that works, although Gelatin capsules (like for fish oil) would be nasty if cut open.

I have been useing a pill cutter and a crusher but was concerned about opening capsules.

good point molly - not all pills should be crushed
