ALOT! I went to the drugstore and compared the two. In order to get one adult dose it was almost like half a bottle of childrens. Honestly, after the first night, I did'nt take anything.

I think this may be the route that I take. Seems easier than drinking half a bottle of childrens Tylenol.

uugggggg! Yeah! Tylenol is grooooss.

(btw, you can buy 'junior strength' chewable tylenol, which is 160mg (children's is only 80mg, and extra strength {adult} is 500mg)... so you only need to take about 3 to equal 1 extra strength. Plus, they taste good!)

Okay, maybe I will rethink that plan. Looked good on paper.

I am going nuts trying to get the best bang for my buck in the Tylenol dept.

You should really get the surgeon or even your GP to give you liquid codiene. Man that stuff is good. I was stupid and threw mine out after, since then there have been many times I woulda liked to have been in that codiene world again.lol.

I have a coedine allergy. Did anyone get anything besides liquid coedine. I am a suck, and I hate pain. Maybe some percocet?

I had thought about taking a dose of liquid tylenol & then adding a crushed tylenol to it to increase the dose.

I also just got back from the Wally Mart, & was looking at childern's meds. They have the Equate Jr. stregth aceteminaphin which was $3.78 for 100ml (160mg/5ml) and the Jr Eqaute Soft Melt tablets for $3.96 (160mg/tablet).

When you consider that an adult dose of Extra Strength Tylenol (2 pills) is 1000mg that is 6.25 childrens doses, which will cost about $1.20.

I think that I will get some of the soft melt tabs for the trip, that way I dont have to deal with liquids.

Does anyone know if we are able to get the Tylenol GoTabs in Canada?

Hey Gaffer I don't think that you can get the Tylenols to go in Canada yet. I haven't seen them anyway. Tylenol does have a canadian website that is supposed to list all the pills and things that they offer in Canada. Worth a shot to look.

      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.
