Crushing Pills...how long does this last?

Here is another one of those areas where you are going to hear different opinions.  I was told I will ALWAYS have to crush my medications, FOREVER. The Nut recommended that we use sugar free chocolate syrup to mix our crushed pills with. It still tastes awful! I have gotten used to crushing my pills and taking them with a drink of crystal light type beverage (I used the liquid and make it on the strong side in a little cup just for medication time). As far as getting the protein in, try your best. Eventually, you'll be better at getting them all down. Taking small sips helps.  It gets easier the further out you get. Best wishes on your journey ;)

Yikes crushing for life? Did they say why they recommend that? I'd be in a heap of trouble if I had to crush all of my vitamins or take chewable for life.

I won't say go against your plan but should you eventually become disgusted with doing what they recommend most of us swallow pills with no repercussions.

Why would you need to crush them forever?

Never had to crush, like others I was taking pills in the hospital. The big ones I did split for a few weeks. The capsule- I would open it, empty it on my tongue and swallow with a sip or two of water. Best to get it over with IMO!
Congrats and good luck! The protein will come in time, don't stress about it, the most important thing is water intake right now!
