Problem taking pills



Recommended Posts

I was sleeved 12/6. I am doing well with most things. I can usually get liquids down pretty well. I am not eating anything except my Protein shakes. My problem is with taking pills. In the morning and at night, I have several medications I have to take. I break them up and take them. After a sip of crystal light, my throat/sleeve make this weird noise, it is almost like a squeaky door hinge. The pill isn't stuck in my throat. I am starting to dread morning and evening and taking all my meds. In the afternoon, I have other meds but not as many and there isn't a problem.

So what are your tips or what am I doing wrong?

Hey, my husband bought me a pill crusher. It helped me be able to get down the pills I needed to until I was able to swallow them Now I am able to swallow them without any problem, even a large Calcium pill. Hope it feels better soon!

in the hospital my nurse would crush my pill and add a sip of warm Water to it. Then I could drink it down without any problem. At home I'm pretty much doing the same thing so far so good. Best to you!

      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.

      Hi, I’m new here. I’m currently on the liver shrinking diet. So far so good, but I have to say I haven’t found a protein shake I like. Anyone have any suggestions please? My surgery date is September 17th.

        Fairlife Core are by far the best. They taste just as they are - chocolate milk. You can either get the 26 grams or the 42 grams (harder to find and more expensive). For straight protein look at Bulksuppliments.com ..they have really good whey proteins and offer auto ship plus they test for purity. No taste or smell...

        Fairlife has strawberry, vanilla and of course chocolate. No more calories than other protein drinks. Stay away from Premiere, they're dealing with lawsuits due to not being honest about protein content.
