Do they make a adult liquid tylenol ? All i can find is childrens.

I don't think they do anymore. However, CVS makes their own brand of adult liquid painkiller similar to the liquid Tyelnol.

The kids tylenol worked well for me...

I purchased the CVS version, the dosage is more adult driven than what you will get with the children's version. I did find Adult Tylenol online at Amazon buy they wanted a fortune for it.

The Tylenol brand product was called "Rapid Blast" and came in a regular (cherry) formula, and a P.M. version (warm vanilla). Retail was about $5 - $6 per bottle, and I think it contained 8 doses.

Since it is a discontinued product, be wary of buying it through etailers like Amazon. It could easily be expired.

CVS and (I think) Walgreens both have their own store brand version of liquid acetaminophen.

BTW, if it's a sleeve thing, you shouldn't need the liquid version. You'll have an Rx immediately post-op, and generally we're OK to take pills after the first 24 hours, even if you need to cut it up. Two days after surgery I had to start taking sucralfate, which is a very large pill. I bit it into thirds for my own peace of mind, but by day 4 was taking it whole.

If it's not particulary a sleeve thing, and you can't find the liquids, just take a Jr liquid or chewable to the comparable dosage.

The CVS version is called Rapid Burst and is cherry flavored. It states on the bottle it has the same ingredients but is not made by McNeil. I think it was 5.99 for 8 ounces. I can't find an expiry date.

I think the Tylenol on Amazon was 16.00 for 8 ounces. The had a knock off version on amazon that was cheaper but looking at the label I noticed some misspelled wording. NOT for me.

My Surgeon doesn't allow me to swallow any type of pill for 4 months!! I take daily cholesterol, thyroid and reflux pills and have to crush them. I wonder why we are told such different things as far as time goes.

Different strokes for different folks. Just like not every one has the samepre or or post op food progression plan, not all docs have the same rules for pills.

Who knows, really. We trust our surgeons but they seem to pile onto different bandwagons, just like everyone else. Look at the discrepancies with NSAIDs. And how varied post-op meal plans are. There's no consistency at all, other than generally you do not try to have well done steak the day of surgery.

4 months with no pills is probably the longest I've ever heard. I stayed 1 night in the hospital, and was cleared to take my PPIs starting my first day at home (capsule). The sucralfate I mentioned above was necessary as a protectant against Predisone I had to take - also a pill - also starting my first full day home from the hospital.

They filled me up, but I could take them.

Unfortunately I have've heard stories about people who have done exactly that.
