[nathaly 57]

Does anyone know if/how you can crush a liquid gel pill? I take Vitamin D in gel form and an concerned on how to take these after surgery since I'm mot supposed to swallow them whole.

Thanks!

I was doing whole pills after three weeks

My surgeon indicates that all pills must be crushed, chewable or liquid for the rest of my life since they will not be absorbed properly with the lack of stomach and duodenum.

My surgeon says I will be taking pain meds in the hospital in pill form. But, you can get D3 in a tablet form which sound like it makes more sense with your surgeons guidelines.

I know that some of your Vitamins need to be in a chewable or liquids form because we don't have the stomach acid to help breakdown for absorption. I take many other pills whole ie, beta blocker, birth control, tylenol. I know that my thiamine is a capsule and okay to swallow. It is also from Bariatric Advantage so my doctor felt good about that. I would always ask your doctor what he wants and what he suggests.
