Have To Crush All My Meds.



Recommended Posts

My doctor told me I have to crush all my meds before I take them. I have tried everything I can think of to put all these nasty crushed pills in to make it easy to swollow like Jello, pudding, yogurt , and a liquid Vitamin. I am having a hard time with this. Does anyone have any suggestions to make this easier. Please help.

My nurse told me sugar free choc Syrup. Only mix it with about. Teaspoon. And cannot taste it even the b12

That's a great idea.

I just tried all my crushed meds with the sugar free choc syrup. And it worked like a charm! I couldn't taste them at all. Thank you Krystacoyle.

I have to take blood pressure meds and GERD medicine but, the doctor and nurses told me I could cut them in forths to take them. I've been doing that and I've been fine.

I bet the choco Syrup works great though.

Note to Self - Buy SF chocolate syrup! I take a lot of meds and will need to do a lot of cutting and crushing. The chocolate Syrup sounds like the perfect solution to me. :wub:

I used no sugar added applesauce. That worked the best for me.

My surgery is in 1 week so I am having this dilemma at the moment. My dr did tell me I would need to crush mine. I take Neurontin and the pills are on the larger side. I crushed one tonight as a prep and it was a pain to do. Bet it tastes GROSS.

So for those who used the SF choc syrup; on what day following surgery did you start? I do not want to miss ONE day of my meds. OK so I guess I will miss a day, but want to start right away.

      Day 1 of pre-op liquid diet (3 weeks) and I'm having a hard time already. I feel hungry and just want to eat. I got the protein and supplements recommend by my program and having a hard time getting 1 down. My doctor / nutritionist has me on the following:
      1 protein shake (bariatric advantage chocolate) with 8 oz of fat free milk 1 snack = 1 unjury protein shake (root beer) 1 protein shake (bariatric advantage orange cream) 1 snack = 1 unjury protein bar 1 protein shake (bariatric advantace orange cream or chocolate) 1 snack = 1 unjury protein soup (chicken) 3 servings of sugar free jello and popsicles throughout the day. 64 oz of water (I have flavor packets). Hot tea and coffee with splenda has been approved as well. Does anyone recommend anything for the next 3 weeks?

      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.
