I have a pill phobia!!! I hate swallowing big honker pills. During my pregnancies I opted for the good ol' Flintstones chewables, so I didn't have to take those huge prenatals. I tried for a while, but they made me sick anyways. So with Tyler in med school, he continues to learn many good and healthy things. One of which is taking omega pills (fish oil) if you aren't getting your recommended amount of fish in your diet. I hate fish, so I don't cook it. Poor Tyler usually opts for fish whenever we go out for dinner.
When Tyler got his LASIK surgery in December, they required him to take an omega pill a day. He started doing it and now he is making me do it too! Oh how I dread every morning at breakfast... He thinks it's so easy just to pop it in and swallow. For me I can't do it. I have to fill my mouth with liquid and the pill has to be strategically placed on my tongue, and then out of luck it may go down without me gagging. This whole process can take several minutes. After a few days of taking a pill, Tyler eased up on watching me. After he ran out the door for school, my pill was still there. I would just place it back in the bottle. I was hoping I could get away with this for a long time.... but it only lasted 3 days! DARN. Now he watches me like a hawk, taunting me, until I gag that pill down. It still hasn't gotten easier, though Tyler says it will.

That cracks me up! I used to do the same thing when I was younger. My mom would have to mash them up and mix it with honey to get me to take something. But when I started getting headaches, I started to not care about the dumb pill--I just wanted the headache gone! Now I can take several at a time, even without water if I need to.
Too funny! I don't mind swallowing them, but ever since I was pregnant with Ariah, I feel like they get stuck in my throat for hours, and that drives me crazy!
This is soo funny to me because I've been taking multiple horse pills at a time since I was a kid. My mom's a heath nut! But my Dad on the other hand has to take them one at a time and if it's too big, he can't do it. My mom gives us bottles of vitamins that she has bought but that are too big for my dad to swallow. Great post. I loved it! I love your blog and am excited to check it offen!
I could have easily written this exact post. I always have issues swallowing pills, especially the huge one. Jason constantly taunts me about it.
