Pain Meds?

[hockeymom1010 55]

I was just sleeved on Monday. My doc sent me home today, with children's Tylenol being the only pain med. Problem is, it's way too sweet. Any suggestions?

That's ridiculous!! You need to have him write you another script for something stronger.

Everyone is different I know but I never took a pain pill after I left the hospital on day 2 postop.

Yeah, I thought it was a little crazy. I'm not in a ton of pain...just sore. sleeping gets a little tricky so I thought I'd give it a shot. Nope....too sweet. Even the nurse told me to be very careful, that if could cause dumping. I guess I'm on my own for now...

How about maximum strength tylenol? Seriously, the doctor should send you home with oxycodone or something similar.

It was sweet! ugh! I switched to a generic equivalent - equate, I think - and it was less sweet.

I am on children's pain reliever too. I don't need anything stronger.

We were sleeved the same day! Maybe try a different brand

I don't think I need anything stronger either. I bought the CVS brand. Maybe I should try cherry?? Who knows. This is one crazy ride we put ourselves on! Good luck to you!

Ok. So I had my DH get me some chewable children's Tylenol....bubble gum flavor lol. Worked like a charm. Just a suggestion if anyone else is having issues with sweet stuff.

My surgeon sent me home with some percocets but I havent taken any since I HATE pain meds. Pain meds always cause me a ton of problems. I stopped all pain meds the day after surgery. The morphine was making me vomit and itch, so I said screw this lol and didn't touch the med pump after I figured out what was causing the vomiting.

Glad it worked for you!

Just Do It!!!
