Taking Pills and getting fills! :)



Recommended Posts

I was wondering because I can't remember discussing this with my doctor, if we will ever be able to swallow a pill again. I am off of one medication, which is awesome, but I still have three more and one of them I doubt I will get away with because of weight loss.

Also - I am going to be 2 weeks post op this coming Monday and was wondering when most people start getting fills. I am so hungry on this liquid diet and am looking forward to some more support with my fill.

I don't have a problem with any of my pills. They are from tiny to huge. I can even do 3 or 4 at a time. I do blood pressure which is small, but my multi Vitamin is large. In the early stage I did a chewable but once that bottle was gone I went back to pills.

I also take a handful of pills every day. From thyroid meds to antidepressants to pain pills. I'm also still on 1/2 my dosage of blood pressure pills (hoping to be off soon tho!). I've never had a problem taking them. I have to remember to take them about an hr before I eat tho - just in case I get stuck I won't throw up my pills also. Plus I can't take them after I eat because I can't drink anything for an hour.

Ask your doctor tho. My doc says as long as I can tolerate them, then go ahead and take them.

Good luck!
