I prefer geltabs or smooth capsules to regular pills. For me, they seem to slide down a bit easier, but it might just be psychological. lol

I've only used liquid tylenol since being banded. It is absolutely disgusting! Reminds me of that horrible cherry medicine as a kid. Sometimes I just put up with the headache to avoid taking it. Not being able to take all meds/vitamins in pill form has been the hardest part of being banded for me.

I was told to take children's liquid and I find it works pretty fast I think it is because it goes into your blood stream fast since it is a liquid. But than I rarely need to take it so no worries here.

My liquid Tylenol taste like bubblegum and is really not bad at all (cannot stand any medication cherry flavored either). However, the last time i took it, it seemed overly sweet but that's what happens when sugar is removed from our diets... I can deal!

I just take my pills as normal. Although my hubby can't swallow pills and I get him the juniors chewable tylenol and ibuprofen. He has to take like 4 or 6 or whatever, but the liquid tylenok is so expensive and awhile ago nobody had it during a tylenol brand recall amd we figured out the juniors is fine. Apparently nobody (that I could find) makes generic adult liquid tylenol. He just takes the same mg dose as adult dose.

Check the baby section for Childrens liquid Tylenol in a CVS or Walgreen store.

      Hi, I’m new here. I’m currently on the liver shrinking diet. So far so good, but I have to say I haven’t found a protein shake I like. Anyone have any suggestions please? My surgery date is September 17th.

        Fairlife Core are by far the best. They taste just as they are - chocolate milk. You can either get the 26 grams or the 42 grams (harder to find and more expensive). For straight protein look at Bulksuppliments.com ..they have really good whey proteins and offer auto ship plus they test for purity. No taste or smell...

      2. BlondePatriotInCDA

        Fairlife has strawberry, vanilla and of course chocolate. No more calories than other protein drinks. Stay away from Premiere, they're dealing with lawsuits due to not being honest about protein content.
