Question about crushed pills

[Alli in StL 23]

As I said in an earlier post, I was banded on Thurs, Sept 8. How do those of you that crush your pills take them? I'm thinking just mix it with a spoonful of applesauce? I can't believe I haven't put more thought into the logistics of it before now. Also, is it normal to not want anything but Water?

Thanks!

Perfectly normal to just want Water. Listen to your body. You can put your crushed pills in applesauce, yogurt or pudding.< /p>

I just take mine crushed from a spoon with Water and it goes down quite well although the metformin is bitter tasting. I was told I can mix it in the Water but not all at once. and yes it is normal to just want water. I love my water and funny thing now is I don't like flavored water as much any more lol.

Make sure you're allowed to crush the pills you're taking.

Any time release or 24 hour pills CANNOT be crushed. Contact your pharmacist - not your Dr - to find out if it's safe.

It's also unlikely that you have any restriction right now so you should be perfectly safe taking any pills the size of a tic-tac or M&M. If in doubt, take one pill - have a hot cup of tea nearby - swallow the pill with some cool Water, wait. If it feels stuck, drink some tea.

I have no issues with taking over 12 pills at once including a large "horse pill" sized omega-3 and I'm in my green zone with restriction enough so that I can't eat bread, Pasta, rice, etc. and stay full for 4-5 hours between meals.

Even right after surgery I had no issues with my pills. I didn't want to take them but they were fine.
