Medication

Hello! Wondering what your experience is with daily medications digesting through your system faster due to RNY surgery, leading to shorter effective time (adderall, allergy meds, etc). Have you had to make adjustments?

Thanks!

I heard something about this, so I decided to crush my tablets before taking them. I remember being advised to use chewables when possible. You can't really open capsules and take the powder but the gelatin capsule melts pretty easily. However, if you have any questions, you should talk to your nutritionist or surgeon.

For what it's worth, I've been doing this since 2008 and my CBCs have been awesome, so apparently the medicine is getting where it's supposed to go.
