banded 6/10 and question about pills



Recommended Posts

I was told for pills if their smaller than a pea they are okay for us to swallow has anyone else been told this or have been swallowing pills after surgery?

A couple of mine I can crush, another I was able to get in liquid form...but my cymbalta I have to take whole. It's a gelcap with beads inside and the Rx said you can't open it and just swallow the beads. I am weaning myself off it right now but in the meantime I just have to swallow that one whole and pray it doesn't get stuck anywhere!

My Vitamins are chewable, but when I need to take tylenol I can swallow them whole. But my doc did suggest to split larger pills up, so it won't bother the pouch.

I swallow a large Allegra pill every morning ever since two weeks after my lap band. I have had it stick for a few seconds at times,but another sip of Water and down it goes. Remember though, that was me unfilled and then at 1cc,now I am at 2cc & don't know what to expect.

      I have my final approval from my insurance, only thing holding up things is one last x-ray needed, which I have scheduled for the fourth of next month, which is my birthday.

      Hi, I’m new here. I’m currently on the liver shrinking diet. So far so good, but I have to say I haven’t found a protein shake I like. Anyone have any suggestions please? My surgery date is September 17th.

        Fairlife Core are by far the best. They taste just as they are - chocolate milk. You can either get the 26 grams or the 42 grams (harder to find and more expensive). For straight protein look at Bulksuppliments.com ..they have really good whey proteins and offer auto ship plus they test for purity. No taste or smell...

        Fairlife has strawberry, vanilla and of course chocolate. No more calories than other protein drinks. Stay away from Premiere, they're dealing with lawsuits due to not being honest about protein content.
