problem taking meds

I switched to Tylenol this morning because I am feeling better, I still need something because my port site is extremely swollen. its not infected but Dr thinks it has fluid around it. In the future I am asking for liquid meds!! -
I am on day 3, I was allowed mushy before leaving the hospital but was told start one to two ounces, not more than 4, maybe just a little to much soup? Apple juice also upsets my stomach, even before surgery. Give the feeling time to pass, then maybe start slower

I found twin lab chewable citrate waffers. I haven't tried them yet. The problem is most the chewable stuff is not citrate. I might try the bariatric advantage next. Twin lab were 11.99 but I used a coupon too. Thanks for all the suggestions and comments.
