Anyone Use Lortab Liquid For Post-Op Pain?



Recommended Posts

Yuch Yuch Yuch. I have generic Hydrocodone and I used it only the first two days. It tastes DISGUSTING. I also think it contributed to my nausea. I started using the liquid Tylenol, Cherry, and it tastes just as gross. I'd rather stick out the pain. I should go get some chewables... that would be easier I think. My antibiotic is not as bad... it's red and has to be refrigerated, CEFACLOR.

Most pharmacies can flavor liquids for a small fee. I know wal-greens does it for about $3. ~Mandy

It was nasty, but I found it very helpful on the days where I was in pain.

Pain is not your friend when you are healing from surgery. Don't let it get away from you, it's easier to control when you stay on top of it, rather than waiting until you are in agony.

They gave me 5 of the 16oz bottles with a refill for 5 more, but I didn't like the taste at alll. Seems like it is better in the fridge. I called the Dr. back and he put be back on the pill form of the 10mg. and I half it and it goes down fine. I just make sure and drink lots of Water after. I'm not taking them from the pain from surgery, I didnt need anything for that pain. I use them because of earlier 3rd degree burns, skin stretching, and disc removed in my neck last year and now spinal Fluid building up in my neck and another ruptured disc. They are my friends right now, I've tried percocet, darvocet, all of them and Loritab is the only one that works for me.

      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.
