How Long Did you have to crush your meds?



Recommended Posts

My NUT and nurse practitioner has me crushing meds for 6 weeks.

I find it very hard to tollerate.

Nurse practitioner said not to mix with applesauce or Peanut Butter, that I can mix with soft Proteins.< /p>

I'm wondering how long your doctor had you crushing meds.

I was instructed to do it for at least 90 days, longer if the pills are unusually large. I normally mix with a spoonful of yogurt, it seems to hide the flavor well. For something really unpleasant tasting, I use tabasco sauce. I love that stuff anyway!

6 weeks and I hid mine in almond butter.

I only did it for a little over 1 month, I was instructed to do it for 2 months but once I was eating real food I started taking them normally. I did not crush them but broke/cut them into smaller pieces, my doctors allowed me to do this.

My surgeon told me I could stop crushing at my 2 week post-op appointment. Of course, he knew all my meds were small gelcaps so that may or may not have had something to do with it. Still though.. best day ever.

      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.

      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.
