The phamesist suggests applesauce but I'm not allow applesauce til stage free.  I tried to break the bead and than put in in 2 oz of sugar free apple juice but the beads didn't got down right and just stuck to the sides of the glass.  Can I take it with jello in stage 1?  Or in stage 2 a protein shake?

Yes i'd think the beads would stick to jello nicely. Maybe ma**** up a bit, put in a spoon, sprinkle beads on top. I'd be careful putting in liquids, might miss some or it could melt. I've been swallowing the pills whole since week 2.

At the hospital they told me applesauce so I did that. Now I just open them put the beads in my mouth and take a few drinks of something to get them down.

I just open the capsule, sprinkle the beads on my tongue and wash them down with a sip of something.

I also just opened the capsule and put the beads in my mouth then drank some water. Mixing it into things just didn't work and I ended up not getting all of it.

Same for me.  I was also advised by the doc's office to use applesauce, even though it wasn't on the plan until later -- but I was battling a little nausea, and thought the applesauce aggravated it.  So, I just popped it open, poured on my tongue and swallowed with water.  That just worked out easiest for me!

You can also ask your doc how to take it.  Applesauce is very common --I've read a lot of other plans online.  I just took a little, mixed it up, etc.

Isn't it interesting what different plans allow.  My doctor had me swallowing pills the first day after surgery.  But if your plan does not allow for that, I think I would call and ask the doctor what you should do.

I opened it on top of SF pudding (I used chocolate) and eat the beads then drink a little sip of water. Applesauce aggravated my tummy at first. Maybe it still does....I haven't tried it again yet.

I put it in sugar free pudding but finally gave up and just put it on my tongue and swallowed with water.
