Thanks for your replies, I was hoping that there was a magical solution to make it easier. I may try coffee since it has a stronger taste.

I like to crush the pill and put it in a shot of drinkable yogurt and take it like a shot that I pour toward the back of my throat then chase it with the yogurt. Much faster and I don't have to taste it for more than a few seconds. Also it helps to take a deep breath and hold it when you take the shot so you taste less.

I just bought a pill crusher. For me it is easier to get it down fast. I have my liquid ready, dump the crushed pills to the back of my throat, then chase it down quickly with milk or water...whatever I am drinking.

My next question is can I swallow Ambien or do I also need to crush it? I asked today and was told that I can swallow my birth control pill and stared at the pill ten minutes before I was ready to take on the challenge. But, I was able to do it. I should have brought the Ambien with me today...they are also small in size but oval. Any opinions???

I only take one pill a day and it's about the size of a baby asperin, so I just take it whole.

      Two months out from hiatal hernia repair.  Surgeon said to expect a lot more flatulence...something about the 'air' no longer being able to 'burp' out so comes out the other end.  That is my experience but have no understanding of why that swallowed air cannot be 'burped'. ???

        As I understand it since your stomach is smaller and not completely resting against your diaphragm anymore you no longer have the ability to "push" burps out as well. Plus, since its smaller and we don't digest slower the trapped air moves a lot quicker out of the stomach so its no longer available to burp out. Hence the other option for removal.

      Anyone had the TORe procedure? How did it go? How much weight did you loose?

        Me too girl!! Are you in the full liquid diet right now? It’s sooooo hard!

      2. LadyVeteran1

        Not yet. I was told I only have to do 24 hours of a liquid diet. But I have my pre-op tomorrow so I’m going to confirm if I need to do longer.

        Your so close now! It's gonna be great :) Wishing you a speedy recovery and looking forward to seeing how it goes!

      Down 33 lbs and slightly stalled, but I'm gonna reevaluate and push through. I started back to work last week after 2 years of being disabled due to mental health as well as my weight. It's a great job and I'm just so happy to have this opportunity at a second chance at life. Hope everyone is having their best journey ❤️ Together, we got this!
