Big Pills

missrach · August 18, 2008

Does anyone have trouble with them? I've not yet had a fill (and am doing great without it), but want to start taking prenatal Vitamins (for extra nutrients), but am afraid they will get stuck. :wink2:

Best thing is to crush them....just in case. I hear if it has the soft casing then there is no need to. Make sure you drink plenty of fluids to wash them through.

well i am so glad u posted this thread... I have a few pill that can't be crushed and i feel like my chest is going to burst open every time i take them. I literally have to take 3 2x a day and i have to take them like 10-min apart.. i was just thinking about how i could get around it.. and there is no way.. i have 6.5 cc's in my band and i have more of a restriction in the morning and it seems like as the day goes on it loosens up but damn does it hurt...

Girl I know what you mean about that band being tight in the morning. I just had my first fill last thursday, and that sucka is so tight in the morning. It loosens up during the day. I will get another fill in a week because as the day progress I loose restriction. But boy oh boy is that sucka tight right now. It has take me almost 30 mins to eat to bites of soft scrambled eggs:hurt:. Who knew eating an egg could be so painful:sad:
