I take Glucosomine daily for arthritis in my knees. It helps tremendously and I can't get much accomplished if I don't take it. The pills are rather large. I haven't been able to find anything besides them. Does anyone know of a place that I can find liquid forms or capsules that I can open and pour into juice or something??

​Call your pharmacy. They can help and also your doctor. I take liquid Colace every day and you would be surprised at all the things that come in liquid form. I was at the nursing home one day when I saw a nurse with a pill crusher.

I need knee pain pills but I am too stubborn to ask. I use to take Vicadens (excuse spelling) 2-3 times a day,

There is a product called Joint juice, and people swear by it. It comes in liquid and powder. Here is a link to Walmart's website...they carry it. But so do a LOT of other places.

I just have to add my two sense so sorry if you already know this. Never ever cut or crush any medication over the counter or not unless cleared by a doctor or probably even better a pharmacist. Never!

      Day 1 of pre-op liquid diet (3 weeks) and I'm having a hard time already. I feel hungry and just want to eat. I got the protein and supplements recommend by my program and having a hard time getting 1 down. My doctor / nutritionist has me on the following:
      1 protein shake (bariatric advantage chocolate) with 8 oz of fat free milk 1 snack = 1 unjury protein shake (root beer) 1 protein shake (bariatric advantage orange cream) 1 snack = 1 unjury protein bar 1 protein shake (bariatric advantace orange cream or chocolate) 1 snack = 1 unjury protein soup (chicken) 3 servings of sugar free jello and popsicles throughout the day. 64 oz of water (I have flavor packets). Hot tea and coffee with splenda has been approved as well. Does anyone recommend anything for the next 3 weeks?

        All I can tell you is that for me, it got easier after the first week. The hunger pains got less intense and I kind of got used to it and gave up torturing myself by thinking about food. But if you can, get anything tempting out of the house and avoid being around people who are eating. I sent my kids to my parents' house for two weeks so I wouldn't have to prepare meals I couldn't eat. After surgery, the hunger was totally gone.

      I have my final approval from my insurance, only thing holding up things is one last x-ray needed, which I have scheduled for the fourth of next month, which is my birthday.
