Guest guest Posted June 17, 2004 Report Share Posted June 17, 2004 Cindy, I went through four days of crushing pills...ugh. When I went in to have the drain pouch removed, I mentioned the pills. I was asked if I was having trouble swallowing, which I was. Then I was told to go ahead and swallow the tablets whole, which I have been doing without any trouble at all. ;-) ....second week of post-op -- swallowing pills I'm wondering how soon all of you were allowed to swallow your vitamin pills. I am 2 weeks out, and the only problems I have had are with taking the chewable vitamins and the ones I have to crush (like calcium.) The chewable vitamins gag me, as do the capsules I have to empty and the ones I crush. Forget food...I just want to get to the point where I can take pills! My doctor said 6 weeks...is that about right? Cindy Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
