First Day Swallowing /taking Vitamins

[teambrown4 19]

I'm 9 days po and today I started my Vitamins.

In the a.m. You'll have 3...One you swallow and two you chew.

I did the capsule first cause I felt that swallowing the both of the chews after will help it go down easier too..

so it was yea.... uncomfortable. I felt it the whole way down and once it hit.

I sat up straight drank a bit and then a sip more after before my chewables.< /p>

It didn't hurt or make me gag just felt a little tight in the throat and on its way down. And the cheat area. Discomfort but not pain.

Then I burped and did one chew then another sip of Water and waited a minute.

Then burped again and ate the last chew followed by Water again after a minute.

Slow is the key but it's totally doable and I'm sure in time it'll be easy.

I only started soft foods yesterday so it's all new to swallowing now.

One things that they suggested to me when taking pills what can not be cut into smaller pieces was to take them with a spoonful of Jello as the jello will help open you up a little so that the pill has an easier time going through. I found this help and eventually I started to take all of my meds with applesauce. Make it more bearable as I had to take more than 1 for daily meds
