I take Protonix, you don't need to crush it. I started taking it one week after surgery. I started taking full on large Vitamin pills 3-4 weeks after surgery. You'll be fine, just take things as you can handle them.

Well, of course its best to talk to your doctor but I can tell you that I am day 6 postop and have been taking Protonix, whole pill, since day 1 in the hospital and ZERO problems. I am to take it every day for 2months. However, I don't have to crush any pills, not even my daily anti depressants. Since its not something you need, need for like pain or nausea, I'd just wait til the morning and ask the Dr.

I took my birth control pill 4 hours after surgery. And pills always went down better than thick volume of liquids

I stopped nuvaring a few years ago because I gained 20 pounds per month the short time I was on it... I should'v sued them for the price of my surgery cause that's when most of it happened. Lol. But recently because of my sleeve brain I couldn't remember pills so I went back to nuva thinking that the sleeve would stop me from giving into the insatiable caveman hunger that I had before. Well, ithe first month was fine but this econd month I have been hungry all day and all night. The only reason I haven't gained weight is because I eat lettuce instead of fried chicken when I'm hungry. But I don't know how long it'll be b4 the loss stopsbecause of this nuva ring. And btw the 20 pound thing also happened to my friend a couple years later who was skinny!
