i have the same problem. i used to take tyenole PM whenever i had aches and pains. now i take childrens ibuprofen and just double to dose cuz it comes in liquid form. i can still take my thyroid medication cuz it's pretty small, and just recently started some iron pills, but yeah once i took a multivitamin and it plus my entire lunch came back up. ugh never again!

I've had the whole sinus and cold thing going on since Thurs. Yesterday was the worst. I took Allergra D 24 hour after cutting it up into 8 pieces and Tylenol. It said not to cut up or crush the Allergra but I was desperate. Still not feeling great today but better then yesterday.

An option to the pills is the kids medications, they do make it in granuales and also in liquids, you have to take more but it goes down easier, I got pneumonia the first winter after banding and I had o do the childrens doseage, my pharmacy helped me figure out how much to take, hope you feel better.

I also hate the whole pill thing, it makes getting sick a pain. I also never considered that when I got the band, but I just go with what "love" said, get childrens medicine and adjust to how much you need. I always use liquid kids medicine when I have a cold etc. You may have to take more, but it works like a charm
