Try cutting the biggest ones in half instead of crushing them.

As soon as you're comfortable with it.  I could only do one at a time for a bit, now I do a handful at a time.

At 6 weeks the internal healing is complete. I agree, get a pill cutter for dividing the big ones. Ask your surgeons nurse if you are ready at this point. I called the office for all kinds of questions, all along the way, and e-mailed my nutritionist.
