I was told to have liquid tylenol on hand after surgery...

only problem... the adult liquid tylenol that everyone has is only in CHERRY. EEEW. Nothing more icky than cherry flavored liquid medicine. I'm 31 and still can't force myself to take robitussin or anything else cherry flavored. I gag and wretch... which I don't think will be the best way to heal from surgery! I can't help it, it's just so offensive to me...

so... can I just take 6 of the jr's chewable tylenol? That would be 960 mg (instead of 1000 for adults)? Should be the same effect right?

I don't know about that but try looking for a generic equivalent. Walgreens has their brand. If you don't find what you are looking for, I'd be making myself a cocktail of something to kill the cherry sweetness by countering it with lemon tea.

I use the Jr. strength (double dose) ibuprophen for headaches. It is an NSAID, so don't get in the habit of using it often. I think in the liquid and chewable forms it is not as risky as adult forms of NSAIDS.

I'll double check with my Dr after surgery on Friday. I just know myself and even the smell of cherry medicine is enough to make me yak. I don't want to be doing things that are likely to make me throw up while I'm healing... or ever really!

3 days!!! holy smokes!

You could also talk with the pharmacist. I do it all the time when I am buying over the counter stuff to make sure it won't interact with the Meds I am taking.

      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.

      Hi, I’m new here. I’m currently on the liver shrinking diet. So far so good, but I have to say I haven’t found a protein shake I like. Anyone have any suggestions please? My surgery date is September 17th.

        Fairlife Core are by far the best. They taste just as they are - chocolate milk. You can either get the 26 grams or the 42 grams (harder to find and more expensive). For straight protein look at Bulksuppliments.com ..they have really good whey proteins and offer auto ship plus they test for purity. No taste or smell...

      2. BlondePatriotInCDA

        Fairlife has strawberry, vanilla and of course chocolate. No more calories than other protein drinks. Stay away from Premiere, they're dealing with lawsuits due to not being honest about protein content.
