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.

      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.
