Tablets (pills) 4 weeks post op

[Pam Peltz 56]

Are any of you "allowed" to take tablets? I want to start taking glucosamine and it is a fairly large tablet. Will it dissolve in my pouch? I crushed the first one and it tastes nasty. I cannot afford the liquid. I saw my doc today and he is fine with me taking it but I forgot to discuss form. Thanks.

I take any tablets I want - one of my major annoyances after surgery was the not so pleasant liquids:( I was happy to start taking tablets - about 3 weeks after surgery - first I had to take them one at a time, now (7 months post-op) can swallow the whole handfull (about 8, including tylenol and multivitamin) at one time - my method prior to surgery. I was told as long as pills go down and stay down you can swallow them. As I mentioned in a previous post - the Dr's and researchers are really not sure how our body is absorbing the medicines - this is why frequent blood tests (every 3 months) are necessary to make sure everything in your body is working as it should.
