Liquid Tylenol and Liquid Advil where do you buy it???



Recommended Posts

liquid Advil is a no, no post surgery.

As for the liquid tylenol, I asked the same question on Bandedliving.com because I too was told by a not a clue pharmacist that there was no such thing as liquid Tylenol. She said the only liquid is children's Tylenol and that I would have to take a mega-dose for it to be effective .

Some Tylenol has been recalled but not the adult liquid.

You have to go to a few places to find it but I found mine at Duane Reade in NY and at Rite-Aid. I have 3 bottles now since it is so hard to find.

You have to shop around for it .

To me the taste of liquid Tylenol is not bad about on the level of Nyquil perhaps a tad milder.

The liquid tylenol is D-I-S-G-U-S-T-I-N-G! Sorry I just cannot live without my Advil, it is the only thing that takes down the swelling in my knee and gets my headaches so I use the softgel capsules and have never had an issue.

Thanks everyone, found some at CVS. Now, I'm not in any pain so I don't need it. I'll keep it just in case.

Never Take Advil, motrin or any aspirin products. My surgeon at the support group couldn't be more serious about the fact that you can bleed to death from any aspirin products. He basically said tylenol only and pain is better than dead!

We have a store here in my town called fred meyer and they sell a kroger brand liquid childrens tylenol. I have to take 4 tsp to get 650mg. it is bubble gum flavored and there are no sugar free types, it tastes so sweet! but that is what I have used,you go thru that little bottle pretty fast too, I only used 2 doses a day and yesterday was my first day of nothing needed! I was banded 10 days ago. So far down 14 lbs, WOW.

I just bought children's generic advil and Tylenol. My surgeon actually recommended liquid Advil over Tylenol.

Amanda just be very careful with Advil . My doc had a pt that used it just for 4 days and developed a bad bleeding ulcer( because it irritated the small pouch) and he bled so much he nearly died.

      Day 1 of pre-op liquid diet (3 weeks) and I'm having a hard time already. I feel hungry and just want to eat. I got the protein and supplements recommend by my program and having a hard time getting 1 down. My doctor / nutritionist has me on the following:
      1 protein shake (bariatric advantage chocolate) with 8 oz of fat free milk 1 snack = 1 unjury protein shake (root beer) 1 protein shake (bariatric advantage orange cream) 1 snack = 1 unjury protein bar 1 protein shake (bariatric advantace orange cream or chocolate) 1 snack = 1 unjury protein soup (chicken) 3 servings of sugar free jello and popsicles throughout the day. 64 oz of water (I have flavor packets). Hot tea and coffee with splenda has been approved as well. Does anyone recommend anything for the next 3 weeks?

        All I can tell you is that for me, it got easier after the first week. The hunger pains got less intense and I kind of got used to it and gave up torturing myself by thinking about food. But if you can, get anything tempting out of the house and avoid being around people who are eating. I sent my kids to my parents' house for two weeks so I wouldn't have to prepare meals I couldn't eat. After surgery, the hunger was totally gone.

      I have my final approval from my insurance, only thing holding up things is one last x-ray needed, which I have scheduled for the fourth of next month, which is my birthday.
