I was given my meds in liquid form or dissolvable when I left the hospital, enough to last for 2 weeks except for my blood pressure pill. I crushed it with the back of a spoon and added it to a small spoon of yogurt, had no problems. After 2 weeks (my liquid stage was 2 weeks) I was able to start taking my meds in pill form without problem. I would imagine that however long your liquid stage is would dictate how long you would need liquid/dissolving meds. And as stated you should avoid any anti-inflamitory meds like ibuprohen as a bypass post-op.
