Guest guest Posted June 17, 2004 Report Share Posted June 17, 2004 Cindy, I had to mix my crushed meds with either applesauce or even put them in a little of my Slim Fast. The Slim Fast seemed to have worked the best and killed the taste better. I was able to start swallowing (and at that time only very small pills) after 6 weeks out from surgery. Your Dr. should give you instructions as to when it is safe. Laurette 4/23/04 open rny 309/290/262/150 St. Charity Cleveland, Ohio Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest guest Posted June 17, 2004 Report Share Posted June 17, 2004 I was sent home with instructions to empty capsules into a full liquid and swallow only very tiny pills. Fortunately that covered the meds I was taking. Did you know they sell a Calcium supplement in chewable form? It tastes good and has the Vit D with it necessary for absorption of the Ca. Caltrate 600 plus Chewables. They sell them at my local pharmacy (CVS) and WalMart. > I'm wondering how soon all of you were allowed to swallow your vitamin > pills.
