My surgeon said that if a pill was the size of a pencil eraser (in diameter) or smaller I could take it whole, or cut if larger, after two months any pills but time release, those don't ever work proper

I was told I could swallow any pill the size of a pencil eraser (or smaller) since the surgery.

 I have been swallowing pills since my sugery.  I split the bigger ones in half per doctors orders in the beginning but now I can them whole.  No problems.  Make sure you get approval from your own doctor.  Jane

I swallowed my script pills in the hosital the night of surgery.  Larger calcium citrate pills were the ones that gave me issues. Even splitting them cause them to "get stuck" due to the sharp edges where the pill was cut. I find I can swallow calcium citrate capsules much easier. Even though almost identical size, the capsules go down much easeir due to the rounded edges. DAVE

My doc prescribed pain pills etc for after surgery so I'm assuming I could (if I could swallow pills but I can't so I get liquid or chewables)

My surgeon had me taking potassium pills, about the size of a calcium supplement, while I was in the hospital. He told me if he prescribed it I should take it. I don't always listen to my doctors, but I did this time and I was fine.

I was swallowing pills in the hospital about 12 hours after my surgery.
