Liquid Percocet and Throwing up



Recommended Posts

I am 3 days out and taking the liquid Percocet every 4 hours on a relatively empty stomach due to clear liquid diet. First I noticed the reflux them slimming then I threw up and boy was it painful. I am switching to liquid Tylenol due to this and wondered if anyone else found relief from this type of pain meds. I called my Dr and they think taking the Tylenol will be better...any options?

I threw up my liquid Lortab so doc had me take regular Lortab cut up.

Good luck-- I know how it feels to have your pain meds put you in more pain. it sucks.

Narcotics can cause nausea and vomiting, it is one of their more charming side effects. People can also be sensitive to the suspension liquids (which tend to be super sweetand sugary). If you can tolerate the Tylenol alone it will be much easier on your stomach. pills are usually easier because they tend to dissolve in the duodenum rather than the stomach, it is getting them down that is hard. Don't crush them, that can be dangerous, but you can break them in half. Hope you feel better!

      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.
