Surgery date is Dec 28th. I have VERY painful periods but manage with extra strength Tylenol every 6-8 hrs for 1st 2 days (4 grams/day). Liquid Tylenol is 160 mg/5mL. How in the world am I going 2 b able 2 swallow that many teaspoons of Tylenol for 1st few months post-op? I've read/heard differing comments on whether sleevers can eventually take pills.

This is one thing I have been worrying about also. My issue is Tylenol don't help me! The only thing that helps me is Ibuprofen! Hopefully if i lose weight my periods will not be so painful. (we can hope)

I thought i wouldn't be able to swallow pills but one of the vitamins that was prescribed to me is like a typical pill size and the first few days it hurt to swallow with only an oz of water but now it's fine (day 15) I use to pop ibuprofen like crazy because of being over weight my feet hurt but my doc said no more but honestly i'm walking 40 min's a day like i was told to do and my feet really don't hurt anymore. Good luck!!

I was swallowing pills immediately post op. I've been able to take ibuprofin, btu i try to take just Tylenol.

I will tell you that my periods are sooooo much less painful now and require a lot less medication to stay comfortable.

I take an anti acid and a pain pill daily. You can also cut pills in half or crush them. As far as liquid meds go, you won't be chugging 4oz of liquid tylenol. You will be able to take a few tablespoons of medication as needed.

I have real terrible cramps too! But my dr says ibuprofen adds acid to the stomach along with other symptoms the stomach shouldn't handle. So he suggested extra strength panodol or tyneol.

I take mydol complete there is no aspirin or nsaids in it and also has the same ingredients as excedrine migraine without the aspirin … my dr approved it and it works for migraines and cramps

I just had uterine ablation on Weds. If you are done having babies and are tired of heavy periods and cramps, I highly recommend it! I wanted to get it before the sleeve so my iorn will hopefully start to go up too.
