Hiatal Hernia repair while doing RNY, 2 days post op

That sounds great... my only hesitance is applesauce isn't on my Stage 1 Post op Diet LOL 

I had the hernia repair and wasn't given any special instructions. I was given pill form Vicoden for pain that I split into smaller pieces and would swallow ok and if it got stuck, I had a spoon of jello ready and it would pu**** down. I tried applesauce and baby puree fruit, but the jello was the only thing that really helped me.

Good luck on your journey!!

Thanks Amy! I will maybe try the jello if the applesauce with crushed pills in it doesn't go well. I took my first two in warm unjury chicken broth flavor this morning, but still had to rub my finger in them and get the little bits that were left over. 

I was told to crush larger pills not all pills, I think the concern is with them getting stuck...

Good Luck!

I had hiatal hernia repair and was not given instructions like that with mine. I also didn't crush my pills. Just took them one at a time and waited a few minutes between each one. Every surgeon is different though.

Thanks for all the ideas! I got clearance to just take the one extended release medication I take as a full tab. I'm breaking the others up in to four or six pieces and taking them with a quarter to half spoon of applesauce, it's made a huge impact in simplifying things. Super appreciate all your help!!
