We can take gel caps whole? Or do we have to open then and squeeze out the Tylenol?

If you are still on hydrocodone, you probably don't want to take Tylenol. I would ask your surgeon's office. Mine told me not to take any Tylenol while taking the hydrocodone.

If you are off and it is in your "owner's manual" then you should be fine.

Call your doctors office for anything! I'm on day 9 and I've called 3 times. My doctors office is wonderful and they want me to call for any reason.

Things I called for:

1. Felt weird feelings in my left leg, was nothing.

2. About Protein

3. Today about Soups. I wanted to know if I could have other soups then what are in my folder. The answer, "yes"!! Anything I can thin and run through a strainer, I am good!!! Cheddar cheese Soup = AMAZING

I haven't had issues swallowing gel caps and it didn't have a side note or anything. I'm sure if we couldn't, they would have probably said something or had on there to squeeze it out. I have Prilosec that my surgeon prescribed and it is a capsule and no issues there either.

Yeah if the fever doesn't break ASAP, you need to get antibiotics for sure. Feel better!

      Hi everyone, I wrote back in May about having no strength. I still get totally exhausted just walking from room to room, it’s so bad I’m using a walker with wheels of all things. I had the gastric sleeve Jan. 24th. I’m doing exactly what the programs says, except protein shakes. I have different meats and protein bars daily, including vitamins daily. I do drink my fluids as well.  I go in for IV hydration 4 days a week and feel ok just til evening.  So far as of Jan 1st I’ve dropped 76 lbs. I just want to enjoy the weight lose. Any suggestions or has anyone else gone thru this??  Doctor says just increase calorie intake, still the same.

      Losing my hair in clumps and still dealing with "stomach" issues from gallbladder removal surgery. On the positive side I'm doing better about meeting protein and water goals and taking my vitamins, so yay? 🤷‍♀️

      I've hit a stall 9 months out. I'm not worried, though. My fitness levels continue to improve and I have nearly accomplished my pre-surgery goal of learning to scuba dive! One dive left to complete to get my PADI card 🐠
      I was able to go for a 10K/6mile hike in the mountains two days ago just for the fun of it. In the before days, I might have attempted this, but it would have taken me 7 or 8 hours to complete and I would have been exhausted and in pain for the next two days. Taking my time with breaks for snacks and water, I was finished with my wee jaunt in only 4 hours 😎 and really got to enjoy photographing some insects, fungi, and turtles.
