chopped up the vitamin
I still have to cut up all meds and will forever (according to my doctor) unless I get all my fill out someday (which AIN'T GONNA HAPPEN!)
I tried to swallow an antibiotic 3 months ago, when my band was still a little too loose, I could feel the pill in my pouch over 4 hours after taking it. By the next day I had a sore throat which I truly believe is because of the pill taking so long to melt in my esophagus.
I have to special order my antibiotics with the pharmacy or crush them...
NEVER CRUSH CIPRO
It is the worst taste I have ever experienced.
A lot of bandsters do the gummy bear kids vitamins or the viactiv multi vitamin soft chews...the viactive is a little like candy and not half bad.
Try different vitamins, and ask your doctor about how long before you can take pills again...mine says never but other bandsters take them with no problems...I tried to and it didn't work...now I just listen to my doctor...
Good luck and sorry about the gross pill!
