Medicine immediately post-op

Calling all WLS veterans ! ? ! My surgery is next week (Tuesday). I've been trying to figure out how I will continue to do my regular medications that I take now. Most of them are quite small, and 1 is huge! They are for high blood pressure, edema, cholesterol and restless legs syndrome. So the medical issues may resolve themselves as I lose weight, but probably not immediately. I've heard references to crushing pills -- but how do you get them down? Isn't the taste pretty bad? Any suggestions for how you do this when the menu is clear liquid (hospital) and full liquid (post-op @ home)? Thanks for your help and suggestions! Susan

Hi Susan, I have been praying for this for a long time for you. I am so happy for you. I'm sorry I have not talked to you sooner but I have been sick. I am much better now. But I'm am so over joyed for you. The Lord is good when we obey Hoped to see you soon... Love in Christ, Lorie
