So I am 3 days out and I have been feeling pretty good other then my incesion. Well....tonight I took my pm med and I have 1 stuck and I can't drink enough to get it down. I tried little sips but I guess it was too much and made it even worse. Now I keep burping and have heartburn. :-(

Oh god! I was soooo worried that would happen to me! I still can't swallow more than an ounce of water at a time. Try a liquid that has flavor in it. I can swallow a bit more of Crystal lite or Gatorade...I was also worried that the pill would get stuck in my pouch and not be able to pass through.... Hope you feel better soon. Next time don't take your pills with water if that's what you did.

Are you trying to wa**** down with water? Maybe try protein shake, since it's thicker it might help.

Try sipping something hot, like tea, to help it dissolve.

I bought a pill cutter and cut up all my meds into pieces small enough to fit in a straw, but still had this happen and only warm liquid helped.

Good luck.

Hopefully you're feeling better this morning. Next time try chewing and swallowing some ice to see if it might help dislodge the pill.
