I know in our "booklet" it says we should be starting our vitamin regime within 2-4 weeks after surgery.   Are we still supposed to be crushing our pills?  Or can we be swallowing them whole this soon after surgery?

 We have to crush our pills for 2 weeks after surgery.  That for me was the worst! I bought chewable gravol and liquid tylenol, which was also horrid but better than the dry crushed versions.  I couldnt wait to start swallowing my pills.  My vitamins are chewable, liquid and sublingual so that was easy enough, even if they dont taste good!  kj

I started taking vitamins right from the hospital. I started taking all the others when I got home. I have crushed my pills from the beginning. I use chewable vitamins and calcium and vit D chews. I still have to crush my other meds.

I started taking my vitamins while in the hospital.  I still do the chewables for the vitamins and liquid for the calcuim.
