Well, your pouch is about the size of an egg. I guess you could stretch your pouch if you swallowed a pill bigger than an egg. Do you have any pills larger than an egg? I've never seen a pill anywhere near that large. How could you get such a large object down your throat anyway?
Please note: I AM NOT A DOCTOR. If you want medical advice, talk to your doctor. Whatever I post, there is probably some surgeon or other health care provider somewhere that disagrees with me. If you want to know what your surgeon thinks, then ask him or her. Check out my blog.
I take meds/supplements 4 x day. It takes less than a minute for me to take my pills. I don't know why it would take someone an hour unless they just have issues with pills. Some folks do.
@Kelly...you are cracking me up! An egg sized pill. I'm sure my pouch has stretched since surgery since I can eat more than a 1/4 cup but never imagined pills having anything to do with it. :)

When I take my pills in the morning, I put them into a small dixie cup. I take one tiny pill, two stool softeners, an acid reducer, two capsules with gabapentin, two large capsules with magnesium citrate, a multi-vitamin, a B-complex, and some calcium. Volume alone is about 1 ounce. I drop the pills into my hand, fill the dixie cup with water, and toss them down. I often swallow half the pills with the first swallow and the other half with the second swallow. Once in a blue moon they don't go down so well, so I have to wait five or ten minutes before I consume anything.
From 2 months out onward, I've taken all my pills as presented. No chopping in half, no waiting between pills. I just toss em down and get on with life.
