Medicine after surgery

I recently had surgery and I am having problems with taking my medicine. Does anyone have any advice on what to do or how to take it? Or does it get better? I have tried crushing it up in applesauce but that did not work out very well.

I just swallowed mine. Are you having trouble swallowing?

I had to crush mine. I just put them all in my mouth and drank some water and swallowed all at one. It sucked, I had to do it for 6 weeks. Now my pills have to be smaller than a hole punch or I have to split them or crush them.
