Does anyone know if there is an appropriate version of adult liquid acetaminophen available in the US? I am 3 days post op and am efforting to stop taking the prescribed Tylenol w/ codeine during the day. My surgeon recommended children's Tylenol and I just took a dose of that but noticed that it contains high fructose corn Syrup which I would rather avoid.

I tried looking on Tylenol's website and didn't see any adult liquid options that didn't also include decongestants.

Thanks in advance for any advice.

Might try asking your local pharmacist about a liquid acetaminophen (generic tylenol) that is suitable for diabetics (so no sugars). I've found pharmacists to be incredibly awesome at knowing the best solution to this type of thing.

I have gotten not Adult liquid Tylenol and adult generic at CVS. You may have to ask for help at the pharmacy if you can't find it.

Thanks for all the suggestions. Pharmacist wasn't able to come up with a diabetic offering but I'll try a much better pharmacy tomorrow. Not sure I really need pain meds much more anyway but worth investigating. The adult generic liquid acetaminophen they carried also contained high fructose corn Syrup.

The Walgreens and rite aid versions I saw today both had high fructose corn Syrup. I'll keep looking though.

Have you tried just taking a tablet?

That would be so much easier! But I'm only 3 days post op and my surgeon hasn't cleared me for pills yet. Honestly I'm not even in pain anymore and don't really need it but wanted to see the issue through. I think it's weird that there's no non sugary liquid acetaminophen readily available.

What about crushing a tablet? And again I would add the gel tabs can be popped open and their liquid is not sweet. When I was discharged they gave me pill crusher.

      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.
