AW I am a pill swallowing QUEEN!

I just thought you all should know that you are in the midst of a very talented pill swallower. Before bed I have to take 3 stool softeners, 4 folic acid, 1 baby aspirin, 1 prenatal, and 1 Zantac. I usually do it in a few swallows but last night after watching my DH gag on 1 Ibuprofen(?!) I had to show off and do the whole handful in one gulp.

Re: AW I am a pill swallowing QUEEN!
LOL! I'm always amazed by people who gag on pills. I take a lot of vitamins since I had gastric bypass 4.5 years ago and I'm used to swallowing handfuls at a time.
Seriously...how can you swallow a mouthful of chewed food and not a Tylenol??
I am one of those who can't swallow pills. Well I can, but I hate to, and if they're huge I have to cut them in half, or I literally gag and sometimes throw them back up. And anything bigger than a BCP, I have to use a straw to get the right amount and angle of fluid for it to easily go down, otherwise it sits in my mouth too long and I start to taste it which just makes it worse.
It's a texture thing for me, more so than a size thing. I also take ridiculously small bites of a lot of foods though, because of texture issues I have. I've noticed Nathan is likely going to be the same way when he gets older.
