VGS and Bipolar Meds

[nomorefattypatty 329]

Can anyone tell me how they handled all the meds, I know for a few weeks I have to crush my pills, or capsules I have to empty into applesauce. Does anyone have any idea on how I should handle all these meds and what would be best to mix them with. Also I heard that omeprazol tastes horrible and I have to take that everyday.

Someone please help me I'm freaking out about all these meds and how to get them in on top of all the Vitamins.< /p>

I don't understand why when I post questions on here and no one answers any of the questions I am asking isn't that what these forums are for?

I used to take omeprazole for heart burn but I no longer have to take it. I never had to crush pills of take capsules apart. Sorry but I can't help.

I would recommend asking your primary.

I take meds for bipolar also. I had gastric bypass. I only had to crush or open capsules for a week. Be warned they taste nasty no matter what you add them too. The omeprazole doesn't have a taste, it's little beads. I actually had to be switched from the Latuda because it's to be taken with a large meal and obviously those days are over for us. If you wanna chat about it just PM me

My surgeon has not mentioned that I will need to crush pills, then again I haven't asked.
I take meds for depression and OCD and high blood pressure.
Ask your surgeon as to what you are supposed to do.
