Crushed Pills

[FranR 3]

I am about 3 months pre-op for my sleeve. The nut said my meds need to be crushed for a few weeks post-op. All of my pressure meds websites say do not crush. Some of them are big. Any advice is appreciated.

Talk to your primary care doctor. If what you are taking can't be crushed they should be able to give you an alternatiive. Just a warning, the taste of the crusched pills is nasty. I mix mine in a small amount of sugar free pudding and they go down much easier. Best of luck to you

I agree with Sunny. I would talk to your surgeon and/or MD. Many meds cannot be crushed and warn against it. Also, I know lots of people on this board that resume their medicine regime after surgery - without a problem. In terms of vitamines, you can get liquid or chewables, same with Calcium. Otherwise, I would not crush anything on the advise of my NUT. Best of luck with this! Let us know what you find out.
