The pills were difficult for me- the scheduling and then crushing them. I also take Metformin. I split it and crushed it, poured I my mouth with a gulp of Water and cringed, but i did I. The long lasting pills can't be crushed so I opened them and hen swallowed the little balls of medicine. My nutritionist would not ok swallowing pills whole until I was 6 wks out and eating solid food. It does get better, but right now that's not much help to you.

Cindy I am on day 9. Still have one good day then a bad day. Somedays I get real close to 60 grams. Yesterday only 15. I mainly worry about dehydration and rest will come. I can drink a little easier each day. I actually might make a full 48 oz today. So take it slow and really remember to stop drinking about 30 minutes before your Protein then wait 30 more. It slowed my bathroom trips a ton.

I took quite a large pill from day 2 with minimal Water. No problems. And I have the most conservative doctor - other than meds we were nil by mouth till the 5th day.

      Had a sleeve in 2017, lost over 100 pounds. Had a DS surgery this year (2025) for more sustainable weight loss. 🤞
