Hello all! I've been reading the forum for the past couple of months, thank you all for the great advice and sharing your experiences. It's been very helpful and informative! I met with the surgeon a week ago today, my surgery date is June 26. Anyone else for June?

I've had an headache and just took some kids liquid Tylenol. Eeeuukk! So sweet and thick!

Oh yuck! Give me gelcaps ANY day over liquid! Yuck, yuck, yuck!

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!

I had to open mine up. Doctors orders.

Thanks for gettinv back to me right away!

Was sleeved on Monday everything went ok' date=' my Doctor said my abdominal wall was thick not sure what that means but my stomach is very sore still. Came home on Wednesday did really good until now running a slight fever 99.7. Has anyone had a fever and what did you do for it. Thanks all hope everyone is doing well.[/quote']

My doctor said not to worry about temp unless it is over 101 or having chills, severe pain, etc.

Was sleeved on Wednesday and also had a hiatal hernia repair. When I had my EGD, my surgeon initially said it was a small hiatal hernia, but when he got in there to do the surgery, I guess it was quite large. Got home yesterday around 6, still in some pain and not hungry at all. Trying to get my fluids in, but keep having these burp/hiccup things that hurt pretty bad. Been walking around the house and don't feel as bad as I anticipated, so I guess all in all doing ok!
