Pill Crushing Question



Recommended Posts

I am not scheduled for surgery until February but am reading all of your stories so that I might avoid some of the pitfalls.

I take a lot of medications, mostly pills and some are huge. What is the best way to crush these in order to use them after surgery?

Some of your pills they may need to change into a liquid form if its a pill that can't be crushed..if so just purchase a pill crusher and it will be fine..its only for the first month

You can cut them down to the size of tic tacs

Thank you. I was wondering how small they had to be. I do have a pill cutter.

I don't know maybe it depends on your surgeon...cause I have some that are smaller than a tic tac and I still have to crush them..so your surgeons office will tell you all of that.good luck

      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...

      2. BlondePatriotInCDA

        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.
