What do you eat if your medications require you to eat food?

Hi,
I take a number of medications for a number of illnesses I have.
A few of them say to take with food. Sometimes I don't get around to eating after I get up until hours after I get up. I know I should be taking my medication as soon as I can after I get up because some of the pills I take in the morning, I also have to take 12 hours later.
My question is, if you haven't eaten a regular meal and you know you need to take your medication with food, what do you eat before you take your medication?

As much as I hate milk, I'll drink a half of glass of it to coat my stomach so I can take the medicine that I need to take in the morning and with food. Like you, I hate to eat when I first get up, ugh! but I have medicine that I have to take two times a day with food so drinking some milk does the trick.

Hey Char, I also am supposed to eat before I take my meds.
I hate to say it but I'm not always very good at doing
what the doctor orders! I don't follow orders too well.
I try to eat something, sometimes just a little snack if
possible. It can be anything with me from a piece of
bread to cookie or God knows what else. I not a normal eater
to begin with. I am just happy if I can get something down
with the pill! Lately, I've started to try to give up junk
food so I've been on a yogurt binge so I have a strawberry
yogurt, That's tastes good and is actually more healthy
than most of my other snacks!

Hi Opal,
Thanks for your response!
You bad girl by not following doctors orders!
I try to eat something before I take my pills because I have taken them without eating anything accidentally and it made my stomach nauseous. Yogurt sounds like a good snack to try!
