KELLIJAMES 0 Posted June 10, 2009 I was banded yesterday and I am having a hard time taking my pain meds my doctor gave me pills. I have tried breaking them in half but are making me neausa. Any suggestions? Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
RestlessMonkey 7 Posted June 10, 2009 I could take pills fine. If you are having a problem, I suggest you call your surgeon and tell the office you can't take the pain meds given. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
myturn0421 0 Posted June 10, 2009 Are you in a lot of pain? If you are, then yes, call your surgeons office and request something in liquid form. Most pain meds upset my stomach badly, I have to take them with a full meal - well, that's not possible. If you're not hurting too badly, have someone go get you some liquid Tylenol. That's all I use(d). Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Mim 0 Posted June 10, 2009 I agree that most pain meds make me nauseous regardless if they are in liquid or pill form. I only took the pills they gave me the first night I was home. After that, I managed on Liquid Tylenol just fine. Also, get up and walk, walk, walk. It feels counter-intuitive when you're in pain, but it really does help!
