How soon were you able to take Tylenol capsules? I'm taking other small pills. I ran out of my liquid Tylenol and could really use pills about now. I'm about 3 weeks post- op.

Tilly if you are only 3 weeks out from surgery I would continue to take the liquid. I would call your doctor to double check and make sure if you can take a pill. You want to make sure you keep your new stomach safe.

Are you taking the Prilosec as a capsule, yet? it was around 3 weeks when I started to take it that way with Dr approval. If so, compare the size to see if Tylenol will work, too. Now, I take the larger capsules (Actigal, B12 and Prilosec) first about 1-2 minutes apart to check how each feels before taking the next one. Are you on MyChart - Steve said to message him with questions through that and he'll respond quicker than if you leave a voicemail.

I've been taking the Prilosec capsule with no problems. I sent a message to Steve on my chart and got a reply back from one of the nurses that I'm not supposed to do any capsules for 6 weeks. That really surprised me. I swear I keep getting conflicting information from them. Either way I'm sticking to the liquid for now.

I had my one-week followup today and the surgeon was a little alarmed when I told him I had Tylenol and Ibuprofen caps and wondered if that is alright. I saw his face and said, "I guess that would be a no." He concurred. I'm glad I am not in any pain now as I really don't like the taste of the liquid stuff. The children's Ibuprefen in particular, blech!

Yikes -- just realized I am on the wrong forum! Still getting used the changes here -- I am a Lapbander. Best wishes!
