I have frequent headaches so Tylenol and Advil are my best friend. After surgery I was told no swallowing pills. So what did all of you take for pain?

@@thikkay You probably won't be able to have advil but Tylenol is not a problem. I was swallowing pills while in the hospital - they just need to be tablets (no capsules) and no bigger than an M&M. I bought liquid tylenol for immediate post-op but it was so sweet I just couldn't do it.

Tylenol is OK but no Advil. (Advil was my friend too!) I am allowed to swallow them whole, but since surgery I have gagged on pills/vitamins a few times. Have you thought about crushing them and putting them in a bite apple sauce?

I had liquid Tylenol too, but never needed it. I was given pills (antibiotic and pain meds) and had no problem taking them one day after surgery and the leak test.

Ok great to know thank you
