Glucophage takers

I was banded on 4/11. Pre-surgery I took 2000 mg daily of Glucophage XR (the time-released version of Glucophage.) I tried taked regular Glucophage, but was always sick. The problem now is the Glucophage XR pills are HUGE and they specifically say not to cut or crush them. I just don't see how I could get them down.

At this point, I have cut way back on my insulin, and could probably stop using it completely if I could get down the Glucophage. Anyone with a similar situation?
