Question about Taking Meds

[Ailie 1]

I was banded on Wednesday, the 9th. So far everything is going well, except for taking my meds. In the morning I have 3 pills (not including the vitamin) that I take and at night there are 4. I am crushing the ones that have to be crushed and opening the ones that I can open. So far I've taken the meds in Yogurt (really, really nasty) and in some applesauce (this was a little better). Is anyone doing this any differently? Any suggestions? I know they don't want me to get sick, and I can't guarantee that it's not going to come back on me at some point (that's how nasty it is). Any ides would be greatly appreciated. Thanks.

Get a pill cutter for the ones that can be cut. Capsules you can't cut but, I was under the impression that those were OK as long as you could swallow them. I know what you mean about nasty. I tried crushing too, but, ugh! I take 5 in the morning, 1 at noon, and 2 at night. Try the cutter.

Although my capsules are small, I was told to open them up. I just mix it with applesauce

My Dr. took me off Byetta, Nexium, and Lipitor temporarily. All my other pill I take as usual and have no problem.
