Taking meds after banding



Recommended Posts

My surgeon says to crush pills (that are allowed to be crushed) for the first month. After that we're allowed to swallow them normallly, although I think I'll break mine up into a few pieces just to be on the safe side. I also bought chewable Multivitamins, etc. My thyroid and birth control pill I just chew. Sounds gross I know, but it doesn't taste bad and it saves me the trouble of crushing them everyday.

I've been on antibiotics since Monday and I haven't had any trouble swallowing them. They are in regular-sized capsules.

I tried crushing my pills at first and NOT HAVING it . :sick I take wellbutrin that is about the size of an M&M I could probably swallow it with out a problem but I chose to cut it in half to make sure i dont have any problems .

I take another pill for my Migraines that are the size of a birth control pill and I swallow those whole. Anything over the size of my wellburtin i cut.

or like Tylenol i take liquid tylenol or the meltaways I dont take any chances

      Had a sleeve in 2017, lost over 100 pounds. Had a DS surgery this year (2025) for more sustainable weight loss. 🤞

      The 14th was my day. I am home and recovery is going pretty smooth. They even let me walk out of the hospital. Picture of me in recovery curtesy of my boyfriend lol.
