How can I swallow my meds with so little water?
i know I have asked questions before on swallowing my perscription meds after sleeve surgery but it is so important to me so I'm not taking it lightly. I've seen videos of people a day or 2 after sleeve surgery and all they can drink is a medicine cup of water at a time. Am I really going to be ok taking my pills with such little water?
I had no problem swallowing pills immediately post-op.

Have you talked with your surgeon about this? My providers didn't want us taking pills. We were given a prilosec prescription and shown how to remove the medicine from the caplet. Any meds that couldn't be crushed we were supposed to get a liquid version of. From reading other posts it sounds like they were being overly precautious. I certainly wouldn't have had a problem swallowing pills. You can take in enough water to get a pill down. But if you're worried about the ability to swallow you could look at getting liquid meds before your surgery.
