I had surgery on June 20th, 2011 and lost 70lbs so far. I am struggling with taking meds--any kind of meds. Is this normal for this to happen after surgery with the struggle of taking medications?

For the first 5-6 months or so, I had a hard time swallowing pills. I could do it, but it took a lot of effort. Now, I can swallow several at a time. I havent had any nausea problems, but I dont have to take iron (which always made me sick in the past).
