KimTriesRNY 1,853 Posted March 20, 2018 I was told eight weeks in my information. You need to clarify this with the surgeon. He needs to give you an actual answer. I started slowly introducing smaller medicine, smaller than a regular m and m, after that time. I’ve not had trouble since but never had problems swallowing pills. I still use chewable vitamins. 2 LLG1981 and dsapeg69 reacted to this Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Sadiebug 206 Posted March 20, 2018 My program allows anything the size of a pencil eraser or smaller immediately. I think they said to wait on the bigger stuff 8 weeks - but I was taking smaller capsules earlier than that. I'd say it was right around 8 weeks when I felt like I could take something really big without discomfort. 1 dsapeg69 reacted to this Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
