Tried to take a crushed up percocet with jello and almost vomited up all the water i spent so long drinking. Any suggestions on what to mix the pills with so I don't almost barf?! (Thank goodness for this anti-nausea patch.)

I was sleeved on Tuesday morning, just got out of the hospital this afternoon.

Congrats on being sleeved!!

I tried mixing my crushed pills with sf applesauce. Also tried sf pudding. Both were gross. I ended up just putting the crushed pill in my mouth and using a drink of water to get it down. Still gross, but quick.

I had liquid vitamin D and Liquid Calcium Citrate.
I would crush my pills and mix it with a couple of sips of
one of the two said mention above. That was just me.

Sometimes I just mixed it with water after a couple of weeks out.

i get an ounce medicine cup that they gave me in the hospital and fill it half full of unsweetened applesauce and then crush my pill and put a little more apple sauce over the top and then scoop it all up into one spoonful and put it as far back into my mouth as I can then swallow and then take a drink of H2O really fast. Be sure to cove the med up with more apple sauce or it will taste bad. I have tried several methods and this works best for me....Ive been doing it since day one out of the hospital. I have gagged and gagged trying to get the crushed meds down, but this is what worked for me.

Gee, my dr. gave me liquid pain meds!!

I would cut it in about 3 pieces and take each piece with a little water.
That works for one of my non chewables that I take. Couldn't stand the taste of it crushed and added to anything!! YUCK!!

Thanks for your suggestions! I'm not allowed applesauce or pudding yet but def will try those in a day or two. I discovered that if I take 1/4 of the pill at a time with a swig of a chocolate protein shake it isn't as vomit-inducingly awful. To be honest, I'm not in that much pain so I might just stop altogether.
