I am 2 days post-op is it okay to swallow small Tylenol?



Recommended Posts

I cannot take another dose of my liquid Hydracodone...yuck!!! I almost through up last night and I don't need a lot of pain meds. I just have a slight headache tonight and wanted to take something light for it. I have coated small round pills, will I be fine taking these?

My pain medicine was actually given to me in a pill form. I was given IV pain meds when in the hospital day 1 and 2, but when I was at home, I was prescribed norco in a pill form, as well as zofran. I had no issue with it, besides the nausea that came from swallowing Enough Water to wash the pill down. Try plugging your nose when you take your pain medicine, keep your nose plugged after you swallow, then immediately suck on a Popsicle.

My doctor recommended children's liquid Tylenol for headaches.

. I used children's liquid tylenol- the pharmacist just said do 5 ml for adults of it and it tasted good!

I was taking pills on day two, before I left the hospital. Didn't bother me at all.

The drug stores all have liquid adult tylenol. Get that. It will go down super easy and you wont risk getting a tummy ache from the pills.< /p>

My doctor said if it was the same size or smaller than an M&M it was OK to take. My pain meds were pills I had to break in half and take both.

My doctor had me taking pills on day 2 when I was in hospital. Pain pills. and potassium pills. They were huge. No problems and I never vomited. Did not hurt.

      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.

      The 14th was my day. I am home and recovery is going pretty smooth. They even let me walk out of the hospital. Picture of me in recovery curtesy of my boyfriend lol.
