I could just swallow pills and tablets at 4 weeks out, but if you're worried it might get stuck, cut the tablet in half.

I got mine at CVS pharmacy. Could not find it at Walmart.< /p>

I have to say, it is VERY strong tasting and feels like nyquil used to feel going down. Like a warm, too sweet feeling. But it does work and pretty fast, too!

Hey Smof4, just in case, check your blood pressure if you haven't already. High BP can cause a headache, too.

I would look at a pharmacy for the liguid adult tylenol, not at a grocery type store.

Tylenol Rapid Blast is a liquid and adult strength. I always found mine at Walmart and it was cheaper there than I've found anywhere else.

It still goes fast though, so once I went through two bottles I just started crusing the tylenol pills and used Water to dilute. It tastes terrible but its a lot cheaper and I don't even use Tylenol that much. I just wasn't able to use my NSAIDS until 1 mo out so I had to take something.

Is Dayquil or Nyquil not an option for us?

I tried some liquid NyQuil with my last head cold and my stomach burned like lava!! It scared the bejewels out of me. It also hit me so fast I felt like I smoked something funny rather than take an OTC cold medicine. After I started using the gel pills and all was ok using those.

We went to CVS and the pharmacist mixed some adult liquid tylenol for me. It tastes just as bad as the loritab but doesn't knock my on my butt! Plus you only have to take about 5ml (instead of 15ml of loritab)

I use Tylenol Jr melt aways, I just take 2 of them and they melt in my mouth. I've been taking them for years...long before WLS

For some reason, stores aren't carrying the liquid tylenol. You are fine swallowing the pills. I wouldn't take on an empty stomach or take them with a glass of milk.

      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
