Medication clog, 1st time yuck

Took my regular five pills/capsules this morning with my Premier Protein and got my first clog.  Yucky!  I struggled for some time but finally it got the best of me and I lost them.

The pressure and pain in the pouch not to mention the nausea is not pleasant at all!  Usually I drink a bit of the protein and then take the meds but this time I just took them with the first swallow of liquid, guess that was my mistake. 

Also last night broke down a week early and ate about 1/4 of Kanas City Steak patty, I chewed and chewed with little bites, not sure I will do that again soon.  Did not get sick but now I realize why dense food takes a long time to empty pouch.  Think I will stay with soft foods a least another week.  Love refried beans, cottage cheese, cheese sticks and cooked squash.

At what month out did you start taking capsules because I always open mine before taking. I would like to take them whole...

Many, many people swallow pills immediately after surgery.

I started taking my meds normally on day two...my surgeon said it was fine if I could swallow them.  The broken/opened pills were just too nasty! 😝

I started capsules and pills on the third day after surgery.
