Hi guys,

I'm still stocking my pantry with all the great things you guys have suggested.....but I have a question.

Which liquid Tylenol am I suppossed to buy? Is it the childrens tylenol? Because the only adult version seems to be tylenol cold. Is there a plain liquid tylenol for adults?

And I'm still working on adding to the puree and mushy list of the Help Me Stock My Pantry. I NEVER thought the list would have become so popular.....I bet I have sent it to about 75 people!! So now I feel a since of responsiblity to make it as complete as possible. But since my surgery is still 38 hours away.....I haven't went through these stages and could use some help adding to the list. I'm not really looking for recipes (I'll do that next) but just things to purchase and have on hand.

I hope to find a place to attach this on the site for futher member just to be able to print off, but that has proven to be a challenge thus far. I have tried to attach it as a document to the original thread and it won't accept the file (tells my I am not authorized). I have changed the file extension. but still no luck. So if you have successfully atttached a document to a post, please let me know how you did it. When I fiish the list this weekend, I will try using the advance uploader that is list at the bottom of the page when you are making a post....maybe that will work.

Baby food meats

chicken (pureed)

Fish (pureed)

I also found the regular adult Tylenol (not cold) at Walmart next to the regular advils, tylenols, etc.

I did not see it at a local Fred Meyer (Kroger chain), and have not looked elsewhere.

The lady at my Walmart looked at me like I was crazy!! I looked with regular tylenol was and there wasn't even a spot for it....thats why I was thinking it might be childrens tylenol....I kept thinking I would need to drink the whole bottle to get the milligrams in to make a difference.--haha

I just requested it from the Walmart pharmacist and she ordered a bottle of the adult tylenol. You're right, if you get children's you would have to take nearly the whole bottle!

Liquid Tylenol got recalled or something, so its difficult to find. I just got 2 bottles of the children's pain reliver from Target and I'll use a double dose.

Def. look for store brand soo much cheaper. When I had surgery one of the pharmacies were having a buy one get one free sale which was great. Even the adult strength there is not a lot of doses per bottle. Since I am allergic to codein/morphine I ONLY took Tylenol/Acetaminophen. If you are only taking tylenol do be careful about the dosing. I did take the max amount allowed the first couple days trying to stay ahead of the pain.

Please note however my pain level was very manageable. I was very concerned presurgery after reading posts on here about how bad their pain was; knowing I can't take stronger pain killers.

I just buy the kids liquid advil...but back in the day I remember getting a kids quick dissolve tylenol (big tablets that look like Tums) for my mom who was elderly etc...it just melted away and seems like it would be good. Grape I think...

        Me too girl!! Are you in the full liquid diet right now? It’s sooooo hard!

      2. LadyVeteran1

        Not yet. I was told I only have to do 24 hours of a liquid diet. But I have my pre-op tomorrow so I’m going to confirm if I need to do longer.

        Your so close now! It's gonna be great :) Wishing you a speedy recovery and looking forward to seeing how it goes!

      Down 33 lbs and slightly stalled, but I'm gonna reevaluate and push through. I started back to work last week after 2 years of being disabled due to mental health as well as my weight. It's a great job and I'm just so happy to have this opportunity at a second chance at life. Hope everyone is having their best journey ❤️ Together, we got this!

      Hi everyone! I’m brand new here. I just went through all my pre-op requirements per my insurance company and now everything has been submitted and I’m just waiting for final approval and my surgery date. I’ve been doing research, watching YouTube videos, TikTok’s, ect.. trying to prepare my mind and what to expect so I’ll be ready for the surgery. I was so sure and so set and so ready and excited. However, now that I’ve done everything & it’s almost here, I am sooooooo scared! I know why I want it bc I’ve tried everything and I just don’t feel like I can lose weight by myself. I’m tired of being overweight my entire life. I’m miserable, but I keep psyching myself out afraid of GERD bc I know how that can be and I don’t want to have to get a bypass after already gaining the courage to even get VSG. I’m scared of complications like I’mgoing to regret doing it and be depressed that I didn’t just be more disciplined and try again to lose the weight on my own even sitting here typing this knowing in my mind i just can’t and don’t possess the discipline. I’m also afraid I won’t be able to handle the restrictions of the sleeve. What do I eat? I don’t know how to eat healthy really and don’t enjoy healthy food. I don’t know how to do this! I feel so defeated!Someone tell me they felt anything similar to this or am I not ready? I thought I was. I am so tired of being sick and tired and so tired of myself and so tired of being stuck and stuck in this body and somebody different on the outside from what I feel inside. I just want to ball up and cry.

        Am feeling this right now. My surgery date is 4/1. Sign the consent tomorrow. I feel like I overloaded myself with too much info, too many opinions. Got to the point where I was wondering if I should do this. Then I thought of my reasons for taking this step and that settled my nerves. Still get moments of doubt but am striving forward. Am just going to follow my book from the surgeon. Joined this because I was told by my dietician that I should do this for support
