Question:
Any suggestions for putting crushed meds in on the liquid diet?

I will still be taking some meds after surgery that I have to crush. Does anyone have any suggestions on what I could put the crushed meds in that I won't tatse. Applesauce would be nice but can't have that on the liquid diet. Some how putting crushed meds into water will be like drinking chalk. Any suggestions?    — Donna W. (posted on April 12, 2002)

Hi, you can mix the crushed powder into a protein shake. You apparently can't taste it aspecially if you are adding anything to the shake like banana for example. That seems to be that advice that everyone is giving, so I'll be trying that myself, I am hoping to get scheduled for may... Good luck to you!

Hi Donna, You could put the crushed meds into s/f jello. It's considered a liquid and will help kill the taste of the meds.

I would crush my meds and mix them with 1/2 - 1 ounce of apple juice or use a teaspoon of sf jello. It was awful, but you can drink/eat it real quick, rinse with water and you are done. I did this for 4 weeks and you will be surprised how fast that 4 weeks goes! Good Luck!
